Body-Cam Video Shows Cambridge Officers Pull Person From MBTA Tracks With Train One Minute Away

Body-camera footage released this week documents the high-risk response at Cambridge’s Central Square Station.

Overview

  • The rescue occurred on Dec. 27, 2025, around 5 p.m. at the Red Line’s Central Square Station.
  • Officers Miguel Mijares-Munoz and Deric Maddaleni jumped into the track bed after a bystander alerted them to a person who had fallen.
  • With the third rail still energized and little time to reach the operator, the officers hoisted the injured person onto the platform.
  • The individual sustained minor injuries, was transported to a hospital for evaluation, and no charges were filed.
  • The department recognized the officers at roll call and said the video underscores the value of body cameras.
