Incredible moment hero dashes in front of train just in time to save man who collapsed on track
Heart-stopping footage has been released of a hero pedestrian dramatically saving a man's life after he collapsed in front of an oncoming train. The clip shows the onlooker sprinting towards the train track in the Russian city of Derbent, before incredibly pulling the seemingly unconscious man to safety moments before the train sped through. It is unclear what made the man tumble, but extreme heat in the area suggests it was a stifling day in Russia 's southernmost city. The brave onlooker, who had been standing on the opposite side of the track, quickly realized what had happened and instinctively sought to save him. Sprinting over the track as the train hurtled towards him, the courageous pedestrian saved the man's life by pulling his body to safety, keeping a tight grip on him as the vehicle steamed past with its bulky carriages. Russian tabloid newspaper, Komsomolskaya Pravda, is now leading a push to find the lifesaver. They said: 'The hero is being sought so that he can be honored.'
