A 63 year old man fell off the subway platform landing close to the high voltage tracks of the subway. The reason for his fall is not known at this time.
Chris Knafelc was waiting for the train, saw what happened, ran over and jumped down on the tracks to help, while others stood by in shock.
Chris knew that the next train would come barreling down the tracks any minute. He yelled to other passengers to tell subway workers to stop it.
With the trains stopped, Chris Knafelc stayed on the tracks with the man until firefighters arrived 11 minutes later to help move him. Chris was able to keep the man's head and neck straight until medical help arrived.
Chris stated: "There have been people there for me when I needed somebody. And, these people I can't pay back, so the next best thing would be to pay it forward."
The man who fell is going to recover. He is in stable condition.
