MTA employee Anderson Pierre-Louis saw the person jump to the tracks with a train approaching.
Pierre-Louis immediately instructed Dexter Edwards to hit the Emergency alarm box, which ultimately brought the oncoming train to a stop.
Then, Giovanni Kruythoff alerted the booth agent and rail control center.
Pierre-Louis stayed with that individual so he wouldn't further harm himself while they waited for the NYPD.
Fortunately, their quick actions likely saved a life.
That makes them the MTA Heroes of the week.
If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, you can reach out to the National SuicidePrevention Lifeline 24 hours a day at 800-273-8255.
