Heart-stopping footage has shown how a blind man was just seconds away from walking in front of an oncoming train.
The CCTV footage shows the blind man carrying a briefcase and approaching the yellow line at a crossing, while waving his walking stick.
He seems unaware that just moments away a train is about to pass into the light railway station at Peoria in the town of Aurora, Colorado on Friday last week.
Global News reported that had it not been for the passer by, he would have stepped in front of the train.
The man, named as Mike Wyatt, was walking ahead of other pedestrians when he got pulled back by his guardian angel. The train then passes them at speed just seven seconds later.
