In an emotional account that has resonated deeply across the world, the witness described rushing to Javits' side the moment he saw him, focused on one thing above all else.

What struck him most was not only the gravity of the scene, but the quiet strength of the young boy before him.
"Besides that, what I want the family to know is that he was extremely brave about the whole thing. I would have been crying my eyes out, and he wasn't doing that, and he told me his name. He was extremely brave," the man recalled, speaking directly to the Frimpong family.
