San Francisco - A transit supervisor is being hailed as a hero after pulling a man off train tracks when he fell from a crowded platform following an Oakland Raiders football game. The rescue happened moments before a speeding train entered the station.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit released surveillance video showing supervisor John O'Connor spring to action Sunday after a man fell onto the tracks. The video shows O'Connor yanking the man up by the shoulders and back onto the platform moments before the train arrives. O'Connor has worked for BART for 24 years and said Monday he was helping with crowd control when he saw the man fall.
"The young man just walked, I saw out of the corner of my eye I saw him going in the trackway," O'Connor told reporters. "He came to the side, and I figured out he wasn't going to make it. So, I grabbed him, pulled him up on the platform."
