NYC man rescued after NYPD officers jump down onto Bronx subway tracks



Dramatic body cam footage captured the heart-pounding moment two NYPD officers raced through a Bronx subway station to rescue a man who had fallen onto the tracks during a medical emergency.

Two of New York’s Finest from the 47th Precinct rushed into the station during rush hour at the Third Avenue/149th St. station just after 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

The man, who was reportedly suffering from a seizure, landed inches away from the deadly third rail as a train was rapidly approaching the concourse.

One of the officers gained access to the platform thanks to a passenger who opened the emergency exit gate for him, while the other was forced to hop the turnstile.

“Despite the imminent dangers, @NYPD47Pct officers sprang into action & without hesitation pulled him off the tracks,” the NYPD said.

The heroes’ work wasn’t done there as they went to tend to the ailing man who was now lying on his side.

“What’s your name buddy, what’s your name,” one of the officers asked, as the police investigated how the man ended up on the tracks.

“He fell off the tracks, we pulled him up, he was having a seizure. “I thought the train was coming, I thought the train was going to hit us.”

Following the ordeal, the officers received praise from several people at the station.

“You saved a life,” one man said.

“They both risked their lives jumping into the tracks to save his life,” a woman sitting outside on a bench near an ambulance added.

“Y’all did a good job. Really, really good job.”
