The man whom police pulled to safety right before a train slammed into the overturned vehicle he was driving, has been identified. Police say 29-year-old Mickal Parker stole a police cruiser then flipped it onto train tracks and responders then pulled him from the vehicle just seconds before the train struck it.

Parker made his first court appearance Monday when the judge set his bond to $18,000. He was charged with theft by taking, fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, obstruction, and damage to city property and taken to Fulton County jail.
