The man says he was looking at the train arrival times and did not realize just how close he was to the edge.
But, several people jumped down to save the man, including an army specialist who says his training kicked in.
The group was able to pull the man to safety just about two minutes before the next train arrived.
The man suffered a fractured wrist as well as a laceration on his leg.
