In a dramatic rescue, an off-duty TSA worker jumped onto the Blue Line tracks to stop an oncoming train from hitting a woman Wednesday at the Chicago Avenue stop.
The worker, wearing a bright orange jacket, jumped onto the inbound tracks and waved his arms to stop the train. The train stopped short of the underground platform and the woman was safely pulled back onto the platform by other commuters.
The incident was witnessed by DNAinfo Radio News Director Jon Hansen, who was waiting for the train on the platform.
