2013-05-12 Hammer Heroics

This is Robin Smalls, reporter for NY City News. Justin Hammer, CEO of Hammer Industries, revealed a new side of his face to the public- as an aspiring hero?

Perhaps Tony Stark should be looking over his shoulder at his company's primary competitor. Justin Hammer recently foiled a hostage takeover at Hammer Industry Labs on Staten Island, where a masked and heavily armed assailant took over the facility, armed with explosives and high powered weapons. This station has video of Mr. Hammer shooting the assailant in the chest multiple times in a blazing gunfight, resulting in the hostage taker falling out the 20th story window. Mr. Hammer went on to disarm a number of explosive devices set up in the building. The Mayor will award Mr. Hammer a Distinguished City Service Medal for his heroism next week.
