This is the dramatic moment a hero leapt onto the tracks to save a man in a wheelchair who rolled onto the platform.
Incredible footage taken by a bystander at Union Square station in New York City showed the moment the commuter jumped down to help the man.
The hero can be seen trying to lift the man by his shirt as he also grabs the wheelchair to give to a bystander on the platform.
As the man who was in a wheelchair pulls himself upright, other commuters jump in to lift and drag him back to safety on the platform.
They also brought his wheelchair up.
Moments later a train pulled in the platform, showing how close they were for time to rescue the man.
The video was taken at about 1.15pm local time on Wednesday and ends with the downtown 6 train pulling into the station.
The unidentified man, in his 30s, was taken to Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
It is unclear how the man fell onto the tracks.
Lauren Mennen, a CBS reporter, who recorded the video praised the mystery hero.
Mennen said: "One man jumped right into action. He didn't think twice whether he was going to go on those tracks.
"I was like, people need this. There are heroes in action and I was like I'm going to wave my hand at the train and it will all be good.
"I hope people just take positivity away from all this."
The video of the heroic rescue effort went viral online as the dramatic scene captivated viewers.
