Raw video: Five-year-old girl rescued from the tracks at a Bronx subway station
The girl was rescued after her father jumped in front of a train while holding her.
A dramatic video recorded at a Bronx subway station Monday morning showed a man rescuing a 5-year-old girl from beneath a train.
The girl can be seen crawling out from under a southbound No. 4 train at the Kingsbridge Road station before the man grabs her and hoists her onto the side platform. A woman off-camera can be heard shouting, “Little by little, my love, little by little!” in between sobs.
A crowd can be seen trying to console the girl after she’s on the platform.
Authorities say the girl’s 45-year-old father jumped in front of an oncoming train moments earlier with the girl in his arms.
One witness told CBS2 they of seeing a man who “had a little girl in his wrist, and in his arms. Next thing I know, he and her jumped.”
