Police are looking for a hero commuter who jumped onto the tracks to save another man from an oncoming Tube train.

Witnesses claimed the brave passenger put his life on the line to whisk the vulnerable man to safety as a train hurtled into Bank station just after midday on Thursday.

The fearless commuter calmly walked away before police arrived at 12.15pm.

Officers found the vulnerable man who had been on the tracks on a platform of the station.

Paramedics took the man to place of safety.

Police are now trying to find the selfless traveller so they can thank him.

Inspector Stacey Piper-Harfield from British Transport Police, said: “This was an incredibly selfless act of bravery, without a moment’s hesitation this man leaped to the rescue.

"He then walked away before officers could say thank you.

"Do you know the unknown Good Samaritan? Please get in touch."

She added: “Whilst his actions undoubtedly saved this man’s life, jumping onto the tracks is extremely dangerous.”

Anyone who knows the underground hero should text 61016 quoting reference 220 of 19/1.
