POLICE DRAG MAN AWAY FROM COMING TRAIN IN........


California police drag man out of the way of an oncoming train

Two police officers saved a man from being hit from an oncoming train and the dramatic rescue was all caught on video.
Dep. Lance Whitted, from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office, pulled a driver to safety Monday night, just seconds before a commuter train came down the tracks in Sunnyvale, California. 
His partner, Dep. Erik Rueppel, tried to buy Whitted more time as he waved for the oncoming train to slow down.

“This is what we’re trained to do,” Whitted said. “Luckily, we were at the right place at the right time.”
The driver of the car had crashed into a pole and onto the tracks as the train was coming. The dramatic video shows him falling down seconds before the train crashes into his car left on the tracks

“I don’t think there was time to be scared. You just do things as safe as you can, respond and that’s it. It kind of just happens,” Rueppel said.

Caltrain, the operators of the train, also tweeted their thanks to the department
The driver had minor injuries.

No date was given. "The arrest of this many young girls and boys, who were half-naked, consuming alcohol and were engaged in indecent behaviour, hurt the public opinion," the official said.
