“One man jumped right into the action. He didn't think twice about whether he was going to go on those tracks," said Lauren Mennen, a reporter for CBS who witnessed the event.
Others joined in to help get the wheelchair and the man off the tracks. Thankfully, their efforts got the man safely on the platform just before an oncoming train passed by.
The video was shared on the Instagram account called “subwaycreatures.” And the video has thousands of comments applauding the one man’s bravery.
“This afternoon in Union Square a man in a wheelchair somehow ended up on the subway tracks,” reads the caption of the video. “Luckily, a Good Samaritan jumped down and rescued the man (and his wheelchair) about 10 seconds before the train came into the station. Huge shoutout to whoever the guy is who jumped down to help!”
The rescued man was then taken to a nearby hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
