Video shows moment hero NYPD cops rescue woman in angel wings from subway tracks

Two NYPD detectives rescued an unconscious 24-year-old woman after she accidentally fell from a subway platform in lower Manhattan. Video of the incident shows them lifting her to safety, highlighting the danger of the electrified tracks and the urgency of responding before a train arrived.

Detectives Brett Devine and Carmelo Stracuzzi were working overtime at Chambers Street station shortly after 1 a.m. on 1 November, after Halloween. They carried the woman from the tracks, where she was near the third rail, and took her to hospital in their car because 911 was busy; a train entered the station two minutes later on the opposite express track.
