A video posted to YouTube shows us a suicidal man and a police officer with good timing and great reflexes.

The man tried to jump in front of an incoming train but is saved at the last second by a cop at the scene.

The close call has been caught on tape in a subway station in Medellin, Colombia, uploader DON KEY describes in the title of the video, posted on April 21.

CCTV cams catch what could have been a gruesome moment in which the unidentified man would have gotten squashed by the moving train.

Instead, the Medellin officer jumps towards him, grabs him by the waist and pulls him back on the platform where he crawls on the ground, in shock.

He is then picked up by the officer, who walks with him, trying to calm him down.
