New York City doesn't need Spider-man or even The Avengers. We have Ryan Gosling.
A British journalist reports that she was "saved" from being hit by a taxi cab on 6th Avenue yesterday by the "Blue Valentine" actor.

"I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. That actually just happened," Laurie Penny of The New Statesman wrote on Twitter yesterday afternoon. "I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi."
PASCAL LE SEGRETAIN/GETTY IMAGES Ryan Gosling saved a British journalist from being hit by a cab. Once the rush of adrenaline passed, Penny continued with a few
jokes about the incident.
"He did not say 'hey, girl.' He said 'hey, watch out!'" wrote Penny. "Identity of ... Ryan Gosling confirmed by girl near me, who said 'you lucky bitch.'"
This is not the first time Gosling has been applauded for his heroics. Last August, Gosling was caught on camera breaking up a street fight on Astor Place. The fight had broken out when someone pinched a painting from a street artist and the artist chased him down. Gosling defused the tension, calming both parties down and offering the artist $20 for his work.
Apparently, however, Gosling wishes he had a secret identity for the do-gooding. After the incident gained wide recognition, he told MTV News, "I'm embarrassed. I think that guy really was stealing that other guy's painting, so I should have just kept my nose out of it."
If only his movies could get the press his do gooding gets.
