Heroic commuters rescue woman and child after fall on subway tracks

A pair of quick-thinking heroes jumped to the rescue of a Massachusetts mom who fell off a subway platform while holding her 4-year-old son. The dramatic footage was captured by surveillance video during Wednesday's rush hour at Cambridge's Kendall Square Station. According to MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo, the woman "had seen a train at the northbound platform and believed she could board it. She was looking straight ahead and apparently did not see the pit or the southbound tracks below." The woman and boy, who were unhurt in the incident, were saved by an unidentified man and woman, who left on the next train without leaving their names. [Source]
