A newly minted doctor celebrating passing his medical exams with a few drinks was saved by MBTA riders after he fell over the North Station subway platform and onto the tracks last night, according to a Transit cop.

“The 33-year old Malden resident stated he did not remember being in the pit,” the Transit cop’s report stated, as the victim of the fall sat with an MBTA official, covered in dirt and confused. “The man stated he had two drinks to celebrate passing the medical boards and was waiting for the train home, but does not remember anything else.”

Transit Police said the good doctor was taken by Boston EMS ambulance to Massachusetts General Hospital with a minor head injury.

After the unnamed doctor fell onto the tracks, laying motionless and unresponsive to calls for him to get up, horrified passengers at the MBTA’s North Station Orange Line jumped into action about 9 p.m. to save a man who fell off the station platform and onto tracks in the train travel trench below, T officials said.

In a riveting video released by MBTA officials, the man appeared to walk off the edge of the platform, landing hard on the rails below. T riders sprang into action, unlike similar accidents in other large cities, jumping to the man’s rescue.

“Within in a couple of minutes of falling onto the tracks, the man was helped out by some customers,” said MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo.

At least three people risked their own safety, gingerly stepping around the electrified third rail, to help the man up and onto the platform several feet above. One man even crossed from the opposite side of the station, crossing multiple tracks and electrified rails to come to the man’s aid.

Other waiting passengers ran to notify MBTA officials who held up trains headed into the station.

“Shortly after 9 p.m., a customer approached an MBTA employee in the North Station mezzanine to report that someone was on the tracks downstairs,” Pesaturo said. “The employee notified the Orange Line dispatcher who immediately directed trains in the vicinity to stop.”

Pesaturo said the man was not in danger of being struck by a train, but the men who jumped to his rescue had no way to know that but still risked their own lives for a stranger, one even crossing more than one railway.

“The MBTA does not encourage people to jump on the tracks,” Pesaturo said. “In this situation, a customer did the right thing by immediately notifying an MBTA employee, who made sure that no trains would enter the station while the man was on the tracks.”

This month MBTA officials launched a new safety campaign urging passengers to remain behind a new “yellow tactile warning strip” installed on platform edges to avoid just this kind of accident with people falling into the train pits, Pesaturo said.
