"Two Cambridge police officers had to think quickly when they were called to rescue an injured person from the tracks of the Red Line, the department said Wednesday. The officers were in Central Square at around 5 p.m. on Dec. 27 when they learned about a person who had fallen onto the tracks inside the nearby MBTA station, the department said."
"The officers had no time to warn the train operator or shut down power to the third rail of the tracks, the department wrote. Entering the station and quickly locating the injured person, the officers both jumped onto the tracks and hauled them to safety, the video shows. The person was later taken to a hospital to be evaluated for their injuries, according to the department."
Two Cambridge police officers rescued an injured person from MBTA Red Line tracks in Central Square around 5 p.m. on Dec. 27. The person had fallen onto the tracks and could not get off without assistance as the next train was due in one minute. The officers entered the station, located the person, jumped onto the tracks, and hauled them to safety without time to warn the train operator or shut down third-rail power. The person was taken to a hospital for evaluation. The incident appears accidental and no criminal investigation is ongoing.
