Queens tot's lucky #7

 

22-month-old hops on train without parents
and is rescued by good Samaritan

He's 22 months old, stands less than 3 feet tall and is still in diapers - yet somehow he managed to ride a No. 7 express all on his own.

Stuart Tito took the journey of his young life when he got away from his mom on a Queens subway platform and jumped through the doors of a train just as they closed.

Before his mother and father could react, the train was pulling away toward Manhattan - with Stuart on the inside and his frantic parents left behind.
