Financial analyst Brendan Crismon, 34, is recovering from the battering he received as a subway rattled over him Wednesday.

"I told him that when he's done with the X-rays and surgery, I want him to buy me a lottery ticket, because I think he's the luckiest man in the world," Bellevue Hospital spokesman James Saunders said. Surgeons were trying to repair Crismon's shattered left leg Wednesday night as police hunted for a suspect -- a blond man in a blue jersey -- who fled.
