Earlier this week, the New York City Police Department released body camera footage showing officers rushing to rescue a man stuck on New York City subway tracks.
A sergeant and two police officers from the 76th Precinct, stationed at Fordham Road Station in the Bronx, were assigned to a “mobile field unit moving within the 46th Precinct” after receiving a report of a man who had fallen onto the railroad tracks. It was done. 2 a.m. Monday, according to the NYPD.
In the video, officers can be heard saying, “We have to stop the train,” as the group rushes toward a panicked person under the station’s loading platform.
A man on the tracks was heard repeatedly saying “help me” and one of the officers jumped onto the tracks, and two other officers were seen with their arms outstretched to try to help.

The officers grabbed the man by the hood of his sweatshirt and pulled him off the tracks.
