Video Shows Off-Duty Mossos Officer and Passengers Pulling Man From Barcelona Metro Tracks

Police released CCTV of the November 25 rescue to reinforce platform safety guidance.

Overview

  • Security footage released Friday shows a plainclothes officer at Plaça Espanya on Line 3 activating an intercom and then jumping to the tracks after a disoriented man fell.
  • Two passengers climbed down to help the officer lift the man back to the platform within seconds of the fall.
  • The man, about 30, had problems with orientation and balance and was not under the effects of alcohol, according to the official report cited by EFE.
  • Emergency medical services transported him to Hospital Clínic, where he was reported out of danger without serious injuries, and the station continued operating.
  • Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona reiterated not to go onto the tracks and to use intercoms in emergencies, as Mossos continue a separate probe of a November 22 fatal fall at Diagonal initially deemed accidental without third‑party involvement.
