Ravens tight end Mark Andrew intervened during a Southwest flight from Phoenix to Baltimore to heroically save a woman with low blood-sugar, according to reports. 

Andrew Springs, a Baltimore resident who was on the plane on Thursday, tweeted that Andrews offered his diabetic testing kit after a doctor and nurse on board had a hard time finding the woman's pulse. 

'Her blood pressure was extremely low, and [she] required oxygen to breathe. It was genuinely scary,' he added, referring to the mid-flight medical emergency. 


'A man in the aisle seat popped up, ''Could it be her blood sugar? I have a diabetic testing kit.'' It was @Ravens TE Mark Andrews.'

'Andrews instructed the medical professionals (equal citizen heroes in this story) on using his test kit. Eventually her heart-rate stabilized.'

Springs later clarified that the woman, who was not named, was met by paramedics as soon as the Southwest plane reached its destination. 

'Andrew deplaned quietly. No fanfare. As he has done his whole career, he stepped up in a huge moment when people need him the most.

'Watching complete strangers spring into action to help save someone's life is truly amazing.'
