Seattle police officers pounced into action earlier this month after a man on a ledge above a train track fell nearly 25 feet and was almost hit by a train.

Newly released video shows SPD officers rescue a 57-year-old man from a high-speed oncoming train in downtown Seattle last week.

SEATTLE — A Seattle police officer pulled a man off train tracks just seconds before he would have been struck in dramatic new body camera video. The Seattle Police Department (SPD) said officers responded to a mental health crisis call for a man sitting high above train tracks near the 2nd Avenue exit and East Jackson Street on Oct. 7.

After falling off a ledge, a 57-year-old man was rescued from train tracks by Seattle police officers seconds before a train approached. He was treated and transported to a hospital in downtown Seattle and was listed in critical condition.
