SOMERVILLE, MA (NBC News) — A group of college students are credited with saving a man who fell onto the tracks at a Massachusetts train station.
It happened Friday evening, when an intoxicated man fell onto the tracks at an MBTA station in Somerville.
That’s when a group of freshman from Tuft’s University came to his aid.
Two of them jumped onto the rails and lifted the man to safety.
The 47-year-old man suffered a broken ankle in the fall.
A minute or two after the rescue, a train pulled into the station on the tracks where the man had been laying.
