Summary
Security camera footage captures the moment a passenger topples from the platform onto the tracks at a Spanish metro station.Alarmed passengers on the opposite platform try in vain to warn the driver of an incoming train only seconds away from Puerta del Angel station in Madrid. As it becomes clear the train is not going to stop in time an off-duty policeman takes his life in his hands and leaps to the rescue. The 41-old passenger is hauled to safety just a split second before the train reaches both men. While the 30-year-old rescuer graduated just two months ago from the police academy.
