He also realized that his ride was arriving at the station in a few minutes. So he sprinted to the tracks, helped the person get up, and assisted the person back onto the tracks. If he hadn't noticed the cries, that person would have died. His heroics weren't mentioned in the news, because he only told a few friends about it, and no one else made a big brouhoura about it.

No doubt if this had happened lately, it would have received the same attention. "years ago" was not the age of instant news and YouTube, etc.
