Video: Transit officer drags man away from speeding train

New Jersey Transit Police Officer Victor Ortiz (photo below) pulled a man out of the way of an oncoming train at the Secaucus Junction Station on Friday, August 26.

The dramatic video shows Officer Ortiz struggling to move a man lying on the train tracks out of the way before the train arrived at the station.

NJ Transit issued a press release praising the heroic act: “Officer Ortiz’s selfless and heroic actions demonstrated a level of bravery and a true sense of compassion and purpose that often goes unrecognized but is ever present in our law enforcement community.”
