As the bright headlight of a speeding train bore down on them and blared its horn, a Seattle police officer was captured on dramatic body camera video risking his life to pull an injured man from the tracks with just "seconds to spare," officials said.

The Seattle Police Department released the video Tuesday afternoon of the life-saving actions taken by the police officer and his colleagues who initially responded to a call of a man spotted on the lower ledge of an overpass directly above the train tracks near the King Street Station in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of downtown Seattle.

"I want to help you and I need you to hear me when I say that," a police officer is heard telling the 57-year-old man during the incident that unfolded just after 9 p.m. local time on Oct. 7, according to the video.

The rescued man, whose name was also not released, suffered multiple fractures in the fall, officials said. He was treated at the scene by the Seattle Fire Department and taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition, according to the police.

"Due to the rescue efforts by first responders, the man survived," police said in a statement.
