Commuters at a subway station in the Bronx Monday morning watched in horror as a man holding his 5-year-old daughter leapt in front of an oncoming subway train in an apparent suicide attempt. In a remarkable moment caught on video, two of the witnesses who had leapt down from the platform onto the tracks after the train came to a stop found that the little girl had miraculously survived.

“Dramatic video shows a little girl crawling out from underneath a subway train in the Bronx while commuters looked on in fear,” ABC 7 New York reported Monday along with cell phone footage of the rescue of the girl. “Her father jumped in front of the train while he held her in his arms. He did not survive, but she is going to be OK.”
