Babylon Resident Saves Man Who Fell on Subway Tracks

A Babylon Village man helped save a reportedly intoxicated man that had fallen onto subway tracks in New York City last Friday.

Thomas Rowan, an off-duty Con Edison supervisor, told NY1 he had arrived at the Lincoln Center 1 Train station at around 5:40 a.m. Friday to find a man lying on the subway tracks, bleeding from the head.

Rowan said he yelled at the man as he began stirring, helping him to avoid the electrified third rail and approached the platform. As the man made, Rowan helped pull the man up with minutes to spare.

"He turned around. He came towards me. I grabbed him and I pulled him up off the tracks and pulled him onto the platform, and shortly after, the train came," Rowan said. "So he was lucky, because I don't think that the train got a signal to stop."

New York City Police and EMS responded to the scene where the man, who was reportedly drunk, was taken to an area hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.
