A charismatic duo of New York subway security guards went viral after warmly welcoming a passenger they hadn’t seen in two days.
The duo, Danny Perez and Derrick Blocker, two New York subway security guards, went viral in a video shared by passenger Dana Joy Seigelstein. The passenger was warmly greeted after being absent for two days.
“Derrick and Danny brighten my mornings every day. And I haven’t been there the past two mornings, so let’s see how they react,” said Seigelstein, who works as an account executive.
The two security guards work at the Union Square station entrance on 14th Street and 4th Avenue from 6 AM to 2 PM.
Seigelstein mentioned that the three of them share a WhatsApp group where they chat about everything, including what Derrick and Danny are having for lunch.
“If I don’t show up one day, they message me to check if I’m okay. If I’m running late, I let them know,” she added.
In the video shared on the Instagram page “New Yorkers,” the security guards can be seen exclaiming with joy upon reuniting with their friend after two days.
“They are the light of my life. Even when they’re tired, they continue to spread positive energy. It’s truly impressive,” Seigelstein stated.
