The cops were on foot patrol Monday for a "daily transit inspection," authorities said. Such patrols are part of Mayor Eric Adams' plan to boost subway safety.

They were walking behind a woman who appears to falter along the platform before she falls onto the tracks, the video shows.

One officer jumps down to the tracks and tries to lift the woman, who is on her back appearing to shake, according to the video. Together, the cops take several seconds to pull the woman back onto the platform.

Luckily, the whole incident unfolded "minutes before a train rolled into the station," according to an NYPD tweet.

The woman, 25, was transported to a local hospital in stable condition with a head injury, the New York Post first reported.
