"An off-duty Mossos d'Esquadra officer helped save a man after he fell onto the Barcelona Metro tracks at Plaça d'Espanya station, according to multiple Spanish and Catalan media reports. The dramatic rescue, captured on CCTV footage that has circulated this week, shows passengers acting within seconds to pull the man back onto the platform just before a train arrived. According to 20minutos, the man suffered minor injuries and was out of danger after being taken to a medical centre."
"According to reports, the man appeared disorientated and was walking close to the platform edge before losing his balance and falling onto the tracks. The off-duty officer, identified by media as Felisa Pozas, noticed his behaviour and pressed the platform SOS intercom to alert the control centre. When the man then fell onto the tracks, she jumped down immediately and, with help from other passengers, lifted him back up to safety."
"Transport operator TMB advises passengers to use the SOS intercom on the platform immediately so the Metro Control Centre can stop trains and coordinate a response. Use the SOS intercom first if there is immediate danger Alert metro staff as quickly as possible Avoid entering the track area unless absolutely necessary and it is safe to do so In Spain, the emergency number is 112."
