A New York City transit officer leapt to help a commuter who had collapsed and fallen onto the subway tracks just moments before a train pulled into the station. With the help of his colleagues and a good Samaritan, the officer lifted the half-conscious man to safety in the nick of time.
On Aug. 19, New York Police posted cellphone footage on Facebook, showing the white-knuckle rescue—occurring a day earlier at 149th Street and 3rd Avenue subway platform in South Bronx.
