A shocking video shows a man who fell out of his wheelchair and onto the subway tracks being saved by a good Samaritan who pulled him to safety just seconds before a train rolled into the station.
The video, posted to Twitter account Subway Creatures and taken by WCBS writer Lauren Mennen on Wednesday, shows a rescuer frantically helping the man back onto the Union Square platform as an oncoming train barrels toward them.
With the help of some other civilians on the platform, the rescuer is able to pull the man up, just in the nick of time. The video shows the train coming around the corner immediately after.
