Holy sh*t, this is so close.

Texan police officer, Ramon Morales, is being hailed as a hero today and rightly so. According to The New York Daily News, the 27 year old leapt out of his squad car and selflessly rushed to pull a clearly hysterical woman off the train tracks, just seconds before a locomotive sped past them.

The quick-thinking Morales then held onto the woman while calling for support on his radio. The woman was transported to hospital to be evaluated and her current condition is unknown.

Have a look at the incredibly dramatic footage from Video News HQ1 below…
