電梯發生意外,美國一青年犧牲自己拯救婦女!

A falling elevator trapped and crushed a man to death on New Year's Eve, and witnesses said he helped a woman to safety before losing his own life.

新年前夜，美國紐約發生電梯意外，一名男子身困突然下墜的電梯並被夾身亡。而目擊者稱，他在死前幫助一名女性擺脫危險。

The man, identified as Stephen Hewett-Brown, 25, was riding the lower Manhattan elevator around midnight when it malfunctioned. He was able to push a woman out of the lift and onto one of the building's floors before getting pinned between the elevator car and the shaft as he tried to escape himself, witnesses said.

該男子身份已確認，他名叫休伊特·布朗，現年25歲。他在午夜時分乘坐電梯時，突遇電梯故障。據目擊者稱，他把一名女性推出電梯外，而自己想要逃生時，卻被夾在了電梯門與地板之間。

They said he wished onlookers a happy new year before he died from his injuries. Witness Manuel Coronado said he tried to help Hewett-Brown but couldn't lift him out.

目擊者表示，在布朗因傷去世前，還祝福周圍的人新年快樂。其中一名名叫曼努埃爾·科羅納的目擊者表示，他曾經試圖幫助休伊特·布朗，但是他沒能舉起他。

"He was saying, 'I can't breathe.' I tried to pull him up, but he said, 'Leave me here, leave me here,'" Coronado told the Daily News of New York.

科羅納告訴紐約日報：“他當時說：‘我不能呼吸了。’我試着把他拉起來，但是他說：‘放下我吧，放下我吧。’”

The New York Police Department said the victim was unconscious, suffering from severe body trauma, when officers arrived shortly after midnight. A police spokesman said he had no information on the exact circumstances of Hewett-Brown's death, but the department says no criminality is suspected.

紐約警方表示，當警察午夜之後趕到時，受害者已經失去知覺，身體嚴重受創。一位警方發言人說，他並不清楚休伊特·布朗死亡的具體情況，但是隨後，警方表示，並沒有犯罪跡象。

Brown's mother told the Daily News the family declined to comment.

布朗的母親告訴紐約日報，現在全家上下都拒絕對此事做出評論。
