Dr Oz said emergency medical crews were already treating the injured woman who had a serious leg wound.
He said a good Samaritan made a tourniquet out of a belt for the woman.
David Justino, a plumber who was working in the area, said: "I just grabbed my belt, went over, lifted her up, put it on and held it.
"From the shin down, (her leg) was gone."
He added: "I just worried about the blood, there was too much blood."
A hot dog vendor reportedly helped pack her severed leg with ice to transport to the hospital.
A police spokesman told Sky News she suffered "trauma to her leg" and was being treated at Bellevue Hospital.
The spokesman said no-one had been arrested in connection with the accident.
