Three athletes from Fordham’s track team lent helping hands — and their feet — when an elderly man ran into trouble in a Bronx park early Saturday.

The man had suffered a medical emergency and was sitting dazed in the snow on a cross-country running trail deep inside Van Cortlandt Park.

Another runner had discovered the man, and flagged down the Fordham trio at around 8:20 a.m.

None of the student-athletes had phones — so while the first runner stayed with the man, the three track stars sprinted to a road a half-mile away to find help.

“We were just running in the back woods,” said Nicholas Raefski, 22, a junior at the university.

Raefski and his teammates, fellow junior Patrick Donahue, 21, and 23-year-old grad student Brian Cook, saw the man was wearing a hospital bracelet and was having trouble speaking.

“We weren’t sure if he spoke English,” said Raefski.

“He was talking a little bit when we first got there, but I couldn’t understand,” he added.

“He had a lot of bruise marks and some cuts.”

By chance, the three spotted an ambulance parked near the intersection of Broadway and Moshulu Avenue.

With the three runners guiding the way, the medics rushed on foot back up the dirt trail to the victim. The three then helped the medics carry out the victim on a gurney.

“They were very polite and just asked us if we could help,” Raefski said of the medics.

The victim was taken to Montefiore Medical Center in stable condition.

“It was a little scary,” Raefski said of the ordeal. “[But] I think we knew what the right thing was to do in the situation.”

The humble trio returned to Fordham, and said little of their good deeds while back on campus.

“These kids are good human beings,” noted their coach, Tom Dewey, who said Cook told him, “I just did what anybody would have done.”
