Early this Tuesday evening, Camus Thomas, a 38 year old man, fell onto the subway tracks at Union Square Station, and wedged his head beneath the electrified third rail. A policeman standing on the platform immediately shut off power to the third rail and prevented Thomas from being fatally electrocuted. Police and firemen poured into the station and carried the injured victim, whose body was still smoking and convulsing, outside to a strecher, where he was loaded into the back of a fire department vehicle. Subway lines and streets in the area were temporarily closed. Thomas was listed in critical condition, but is now expected to recover.
