BOSTON (AP) -- Commuters and a subway operator are being credited with helping save a man who tumbled onto path of a Boston subway train as it was approaching the station.
The unidentified man fell Wednesday from the platform onto the southbound Orange Line tracks in Boston's North Station before being helped out by bystanders.
An Orange Line train operator Patty Corrado stopped about 30 feet short of where the man was being pulled out.
The MBTA said that the man made no contact with the third rail. Officials said he was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital to be checked out.
