"We were told of a man trapped under the light rail near Ammunition Hill.
We arrived within a short time, and using a dedicated rescue system, we rescued him from under the train and transferred him to MDA for treatment while he was in fair condition," said Rabbi Reshef Oren Avrahami, shift commander at the HaUma station, who managed the incident.
