BETHESDA, Md. (AP) -- Bystanders sprang into action when a blind man fell onto subway tracks in a Washington D.C. suburb.

It happened Tuesday at the Metro red line Medical Center station in Bethesda, Maryland.
Bystanders ran over and pulled the man to safety seconds before a train pulled into the station.
