An unemployed Brooklyn man missed a job interview Tuesday for the best of reasons: He was saving the life of a 9-month-old boy who was blown into the path of an oncoming subway train by a gust of high wind.



Like a superhero without a cape, Delroy Simmonds jumped onto the elevated tracks and hoisted the bleeding child — still strapped into his stroller — to the safety of the platform as the J train bore down on them.



The father of two then shrugged off his courageous, selfless act.



"Everybody is making me out to be some sort of superhero," the father of two told the Daily News on Tuesday night. "I'm just a normal person. Anybody in that situation should have done what I did."



He said he wasn't looking for praise. What he really wants is a regular paycheck.



"I've been looking for a job for a year and change," Simmonds said. "I'm looking for something to support my family."



The Brooklyn native was on his way to apply for a maintenance position at a warehouse when the unthinkable happened at the Van Siclen Ave. station in Cypress Hills at 12:45 p.m.



"A strong gust of wind blew. It had to be 30, 40 miles an hour," he recalled. "There was a woman with four kids. One was in a stroller. The wind blew the baby onto the tracks."



Witnesses looked on in horror as the child's mother, identified by sources as Maria Zamara, stood frozen in shock. In the distance, they could see the train rounding a bend, headed into the station.



"I jumped down and I snatched the baby up," Simmonds said. "The train was coming around the corner as I lifted the baby from the tracks. I really wasn't thinking."
