Perth Amboy, New Jersey — A police officer in New Jersey saved a man who was just seconds from being struck by a moving commuter train.

Body camera video captured the incident as Perth Amboy Patrolman Kyle Savoia ran along the tracks last Thursday.

“Hey, bud! Hey move,” Savoia shouted as he screamed “stop the train!”
