A Ramsey County prosecutor will receive a Carnegie Medal for saving a man who was near the edge of the top of a building, the Carnegie Hero Fund announced Monday. In February 2023, Hao Nguyen ran across a St. Paul street after spotting the man and then slowly approached him. Hao Nguyen (Courtesy of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission) Nguyen, the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office Trial Division director, talked to the man in Vietnamese. The man told Nguyen he was doing math calculations, but the way he said it didn’t feel right to Nguyen. He said at the time that he surmised the man’s calculations were about his life. Nguyen had moved the man about 10 feet from the edge, but the man dove toward it and Nguyen went after him. He said he worried they’d both slip and fall over the edge, so he put the man in a bear hug and got him to the ground until law enforcement arrived. The man was taken by ambulance for a mental health evaluation. The man, 31-year-old Hai Nguyen, later died by suicide in western Wisconsin. The Carnegie Hero Fund announced Monday it is honoring 18 people who, “in acts of extraordinary heroism, risked serious injury or death to save others.” They select recipients quarterly to receive the Carnegie Medal, a special honor for civilian heroism. Another Minnesotan selected in this round is Dalton Grose, of Waterville. He was working on a boat when he saw a truck went over a retaining wall and began sinking in Fountain Lake in Albert Lea. Grose piloted the boat closer, jumped into the water fully clothed and used his feet as leverage against the truck to force the door open. Grose cradled the 85-year-old driver, taking three bounding steps and submerging and resurfacing until he reached wadable water and got the driver to safety, according to the Carnegie Hero Fund.
