Cops Rescue Man Who Passed Out And Fell Onto Train Tracks

This police bodycam footage shows how a man was saved by two officers after he passed out at a New York City Subway station and fell onto the tracks.

The incident happened at Utica Avenue station in New York City, USA, on 3rd July.

According to reports, the unidentified male fell onto the tracks following an undetermined medical episode.

The footage shows how one of the officers spots a walking stick and a bag on the edge of the platform before peering over the edge and seeing the man on the tracks.

When the two officers lift him up, he is clearly unresponsive.

The footage shows how the male officer repeatedly shouts “please” and “come on” so that two commuters waiting on the platform edge can grab the man.
