Brave Man Jumps Onto Train Tracks To Save Drunk Woman

Would you ever jump onto the train tracks to save someone from the oncoming train? This brave man jumped onto the tracks at Koenji Station on the JR Chuo Line in Tokyo on Monday night to save a drunk woman that fell off a platform.

The woman, 20, who was drunk and feeling sick, got off a train at the station and fell onto the tracks at around 9:15 p.m., according to police and other sources. The man, a 24-year-old company employee in Tokyo, immediately jumped onto the tracks and found her unconscious and unresponsive.

As a rapid train heading to Tokyo Station was approaching, the man laid the woman in the 1.06-meter-wide space between the tracks and took shelter himself in a space under the platform. The train passed right above the woman’s head and stopped without hitting her.

The woman reportedly sustained minor injuries to her head from the fall and the man was unhurt.

“When I regained consciousness, I found a train right above my head,” a JR official quoted the woman as saying.

Luckily the man managed to located a space to save himself and the woman, otherwise both of them would end up splat … or maybe they would end up in the world of Gantz.
