It was unclear how the person got onto the tracks but FDNY Captain John McGee says he and other firefighters brought a board under the train and they were able to put the man on it, and move him onto the platform.

"We train for this type of call a lot. It takes a lot of teamwork, and the members did a great job communicating to make sure the patient didn’t harm themselves," McGee said.
