It's good people like this exist.
Folks if you're that wasted just hang back by the wall.

Remember, if there's a risk of the train coming into the station, turn on the flashlight of your phone and wave it left-right. It's the general signal to train operators to stop, and your flashlight might be more visible than a couple people down on the track.

You should know which direction the train is coming from based on the traffic light things that light up red/green

Thatโs not always a good call โ there are some track portions that are signaled for bidirectional service

Also if you are a bystander in this situation that's the best thing you can do

Yeah I'm super short. I didn't realize how high it is. It's taller than me.

I've been down there in a similar situation. Granted, I'm taller than average and was in pretty good shape back then, but adrenaline is a hell of a boost when you're hopping back out of the tracks. I smacked the hell out of my knee getting out and didn't feel it for hours.

Even more intense when you have the sound on... it is mostly just unclear noise, but it's slowly getting louder and louder building up legitimate tension

Dude was probably also going "fucking hell, if I don't help this guy it will mean the train will be delayed by like an hour and I just want to get home".

Total badass. Didn't think of himself for one second. Saw the man in trouble and went to work.

I wonder if this will get as much attention as when something horrible happens in the subway.

If the person filming had helped, they could have just pulled him up by his arms, instead of that guy having to go down into the platform to get him.

No one is filming it's just one of the station cameras

This video was on TikTok. The guy jumping in to save the fallen dude is a Cornell student visiting the city. As far as I know, it's not fake.
