A BART supervisor saved a man's life Sunday after the Raiders' win over the Detroit Lions, pulling him from the tracks at Coliseum station as an oncoming train approached.
Surveillance video released by BART showed John O'Connor, a 20-year veteran of the agency, grabbing a man after he fell and stumbled onto the tracks in front of the train. BART said the man was intoxicated, and O'Connor pulled him off the tracks seconds before the train would have hit him.

"I was just fortunate that God put me there and he got to see another day," O'Connor told NBC Bay Area on Monday. "There was no time to really make a decision. I just looked and it just happened."
A fellow BART rider filmed O'Connor and the man embracing soon after.
"We're all human beings," O'Connor told NBC Bay Area. "Life is precious. Thank god he gets to see another day. We both made it."
