City officials could not immediately be reached for comment on Saturday but Booker described the accident in Newark via Twitter. "God bless my residents. Pulled up on pedestrian/vehicle accident. We got man stabilized & into ambulance. He'll be OK. Thanx 2 all who helped," the mayor tweeted. He said the man had run into traffic and the driver stayed on the scene to help. A detective with the Essex County Prosecutor's office, Michael Davidson, was the first to give aid, the Star-Ledger newspaper said. Davidson saw the man face-down on the ground bleeding from the mouth and nose, called 911 and began wiping away the blood, the newspaper said. Booker arrived a few moments later and he and others helped tend to the injured man until the ambulance arrived. The Democratic mayor was hailed as a hero in April after running into his neighbor's burning home and carrying a woman out to safety. He and Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie teamed up in May to make a spoof video in which Booker repeatedly averted disaster and bested Christie with acts of valor. The film was showed at a New Jersey Press Association gathering and went viral on the Internet.
