A New Jersey Transit police officer is being hailed as a hero for pulling a man from train tracks in Secaucus last week.
Officer Victor Ortiz took a break from his family vacation, and in an exclusive interview with Eyewitness News, talked about what he did on Friday morning.
The 16-year veteran got a call at Secaucus Junction about an agitated passenger on the train. He met the man on the platform.
“He said ‘no, I’m not going to jail, I’m not going to jail’, and he jumped down into the pit of Track A,” said Officer Ortiz.
