When you are a police officer, you never know what is going to happen. Every day can bring a new challenge or surprise that you may not see coming. But police officers always step up to the challenge and help when they are called. That’s exactly what happened recently to a New Jersey police officer.
Perth Amboy Officer Kyle Savoia was responding to a call about a man laying on railroad tracks when the unthinkable happened. A train started coming down the tracks right towards the man. That’s when Officer Savoia started running as fast as he could go to get the man out of the way. Body cam footage captured the entire terrifying ordeal as the cop began shouting as loud as he could for the train to stop and the man to get out of the way.
Just when I thought it might be too late, the train came to a halt and the man scurried to safety. This edge-of-your-seat scene was truly a heroic moment for Officer Savoia. But the incredible thing is that this police officer has only been on the job for a few months.
This rookie cop was just sworn into office in January and he’s already making headlines for his brave rescue efforts. He had to make a quick decision and he didn’t hesitate to run straight into the danger to save a stranger’s life. This is exactly the type of person that makes an incredible police officer and I’m so glad that Officer Savoia is following hi calling.
