Dramatic bodycam footage captured the moment two quick-acting NYPD cops pulled a straphanger from Manhattan subway tracks seconds before a train screeched into the station.
Police had to run out of the southbound entrance and across the street to reach the man who had fallen on the northbound tracks.NYPDPC/TwitterThe train rolled into the subway seconds after the officers made it onto the platform.The officers then leaped for safety themselves, but one didn’t make it on the first try. The good Samaritan and another straphanger then reached out for the cop and lifted him to safety — just four seconds before the oncoming train emerged from the tunnel.
“The heroics of NY’s Finest always amazes me,” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. “The courage is second nature.” The fallen straphanger suffered minor injuries to his right hand and back, police said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside in stable condition.Share this article:
