Commuters at a subway station in Toronto, Canada, watched with horror and relief as Good Samaritans hurried to the aid of a blind guy who had fallen into the tracks and was calling for assistance.

Kyle Busquine was on a train heading to Broadview Station when he and other passengers heard a guy yelling for aid. The wounded guy was absolutely helpless, laying on the adjacent tracks with his cane next to him. Kyle made a split-second choice to save the blind man’s life. Before he knew it, two additional guys had arrived to assist him in pulling himself up.

After alerting the Good Samaritans that they may be electrocuted by the third rail, a fourth guy – a TTC employee – hurried to activate the emergency button to disconnect power to the rails. “It’s pretty terrifying to leap down onto a track while a train is coming, and this man just did it,” Julie Caniglia, who was also on the train and watched Kyle’s heroics, said. “He just responded.”

“I don’t believe anybody breathed until he was up on the platform.” “Every second seemed to last a minute,” she recounted. “We all cheered and hugged each other when it occurred.” Watch as CityTV News interviewed Kyle and asked him to retell what occurred.
