EAST HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) -- Two police officers and a Good Samaritan saved a man who had fallen off of a subway platform and down onto the tracks on Thanksgiving Day in Manhattan.
The officers were on patrol on a platform at the 116th Street station in East Harlem around 4 p.m. when they heard a commotion on the opposite platform.
"I noticed a few people in the train making a commotion and then I heard a loud scream,: said officer Brunel Victor.
Victor and his partner, Taufique Bokth did not know what it was - but immediately sprung into action.
Bodycam video shows the officers sprinting up the stairs to streel level - then racing across traffic to get to the opposite side of the platform.
The victim suffered a medical episode and is expected to be ok.
As for the Good Samaritan - officers have no idea who he is. After he helped rescue the victim off the tracks, he hopped on the next train.
