A police officer has become a hero after she risking her life to save a man in a wheelchair. Amazingly, she saves him from getting hit by a train at a railroad.
The police officer named Erika Urrea saved the 66 years old man from death after his wheelchair was stuck on the train tracks in Lodi, San Francisco. The incidents happened on Wednesday.
A bodycam video that was released by the Lodi Police Department shows the dramatic situation came while Erika was out patrolling.
She quickly ran towards the man and asking him if he can stand while the sound of the train horn can be heard. With quick action, Erika grabs the man’s arm and hoists him out of the wheelchair until they both fall to the ground.
The man was then taken to a local hospital for treatment.
“Officer Urrea risked her own life to save another and her actions prevented a tragedy today,” said Lodi Police Department in a statement.
The incredible footage has gone viral across social media and many people were praising Erika for her bravery.
