5-year-old girl is rescued from under train after dad jumped to his death while holding her

Harrowing video footage shows a five year-old girl being rescued from under a train after her dad jumped to his death holding her during rush hour. The youngster, wearing a blue coat and pink backpack, could be seen being pulled to safety from under a New York Subway number 4 train at Kingsbridge Station in the Bronx during rush hour Monday. Her dad was seen talking calmly to his wife on the phone before jumping onto the tracks holding his daughter. The little girl somehow managed to find a safe spot away from the train wheels or machinery, and only sustained minor physical injuries. Shocked eyewitnesses attempted to warn the driver as the train pulled into the station, but were unable to get it to stop in time.
Eyewitness Pamela Ivy, who heard the dad talking to his wife just before he jumped told ABC7: ‘I heard him telling the wife that, “You look out for the other two kids, I’m gonna take her to school.” ‘And then he said, “I love you.”‘ The little girl was comforted by the crowd and EMTs before being taken to hospital. Her dad’s name has not been released.
