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.

Great job officers, but I don't understand why people feel the need to stand on the edge of the tracks?!! I just don't get it! I'm in the subway nearly every day and I see it every time, people just standing on the edge waiting for the train, and I'm like why?!!
I don't understand why NY subway don't have barrier at the station until now… All these accident could’ve prevented
Was he arrested for being on the tracks?
Brave officers ! ❤👍👍🙂
That cop just jumped the turnstile…lol
Some people act. Many people don't.
NYPD for the win!
Defund the police!
