Three who helped save Montague Street stabbing victim honored at Borough Hall
Hershi Pfeiffer alive because of 'Brooklyn heroes'
Borough President Eric Adams paid tribute on Monday to three Brooklyn heroes for helping to save the life of a man stabbed by an employee on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights on September 22.
Adriy Komynar, a disgruntled construction worker, allegedly stabbed manager Hershi Pfeiffer, 36, several times, including once in the neck, leaving the father of six bleeding profusely on the street.
At an emotional ceremony in Borough Hall attended by Pfeiffer and his family and friends, Adams honored as Brooklyn’s “Heroes of the Month” FDNY EMT Jenelle Rivera, who performed the emergency first aid that controlled the bleeding; construction manager Marcell Alberti, who helped chase the perpetrator while dialing 911; and Dr. Enrico Ascher, who performed surgery on Pfeiffer at Lutheran Medical Center.
“It’s good to pause a moment and acknowledge the good deeds and good people who overwhelmingly make up the borough of Brooklyn. They are Brooklyn’s heroes,” Adams said.
