The moment a New York man jumped onto live subway tracks Saturday to rescue another man who had fallen has been captured on dramatic video.
Jonathan Kulig, 29, was standing several feet away at the Third Avenue L train station in Manhattan on Saturday night when he saw a young man lying on the subway tracks.
Kulig was heading to his overnight shift as an engineering supervisor with Con Edison when he saw something fall onto the tracks on the opposite platform from where he was standing.
Of all the people standing around on the platform, Kulig was the only one who jumped down beside the unidentified man.
He lifted the semi-conscious man off the watery space between the tracks and onto the platform, where an unidentified woman laid him down as other passengers stood and watched.
'Talk to me, what's happening?' Kulig asks the man, whose clothes are muddy from the tracks, but he only receives mumbles in response.
Kulig and the woman escort the man to a subway bench, where seconds later a train pulls into the station.
