A wheelchair-bound man fell from the New York subway platform onto the railway tracks, a fellow commuter jumped to the rescue and saved his life.
A video of the incident is going viral online and the man is being hailed as a hero.
The incident took place minutes before a train was approaching the Union Square station on the same track and announcement of the incoming train was heard.
While witnesses heard the man almost crying, the Samaritan, without any hesitation plunged in to help him out.
With the help of other passengers on the platform, the rescuer was able to pull the man up, just in the nick of time. The video showed the train coming around the corner immediately after they were on the platform.
The NCA captured covert recordings of Gary Betts, 57, of Rye Bank Road, Firswood, Manchester, last year, as he told associates that he had a ‘nice job’ that would be ‘plenty of dough’.
He was joined by Gerard Boyle, 57, of Eleanor Road, Manchester, brothers Chris and John Sammon, ages 32 and 35, of Moorcroft Drive and Dudley Road, Manchester, and Wayne Simmonds, 39, of Oakwood Road, Bricket wood, Hertfordshire.
The gang believed the victims to be holding a substantial cash sum at their home in Greater Manchester and discussed logistics of the robbery at the office of Boyle – who was the registered director of a plastics recycling firm.
Betts was heard to say: “His dad’s an old man and there’s only one kid in the house…”
… You’ve got to give him a f****** slap …..you know what I mean? To tell you where the dough is.”
Wayne Simmonds agreed to carry out the robbery and discussed having a contact who specialised in impersonating police to gain entry to people’s homes.
Simmonds’ contact, who used the encrypted messaging service EncroChat and referred to himself as ‘the old Bill’, had bragged to Simmonds about the emergency blue lights he had fitted to vehicles and was later described by Simmonds during the trial as someone ‘not to be messed with’.
