An elderly woman’s life was saved when a man rushed out of his car and helped her cross train tracks with seconds to spare.
Jon Mango, 28, was sitting in his car in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, waiting for the train to pass when he noticed the woman in the middle of the tracks trying to get to safety.
Realising she was not going to get across in time, he leapt out of his carried and rushed to her aid.
“She was scared, like I was trying to do something,” Mr Mango said. “She actually stopped because she was scared, so then I tried grabbing her arm and then really tried pulling her. She was having a lot of trouble.”
Another man appeared at the last second and the two helped her off the tracks, narrowly avoiding the train by just inches.
