The New York City bus driver who caught a 7-year-old girl, who fell from a window in Brooklyn last week, was honored on Sunday. 

Steven St. Bernard, 52, threw out the first pitch at the Brooklyn Cyclone's game at MCU Park in Coney Island. 

St. Bernard on July 16th rushed to the Coney Island Houses where Kayla McCree was standing outside of a window on top of an air conditioner. 

St. Bernard was able to catch the girl as she fell 30 feet. 

Kayla, who is autistic, was not hurt, but St. Bernard suffered a torn tendon in his right arm. 

Prior to the game, Sen. Eric Adams (D-NY) awarded St. Bernard with a $1,000 savings bond to be used towards his daughter's education.
