A 3-year-old boy with autism was rescued from Metro-North train tracks by workers on an approaching Metro-North train, a video released Tuesday by the Metropolitan Transit Authority showed.
Locomotive Engineer William Kennedy was operating a southbound Hudson Line train around 3:15 p.m. on April 6 when he spotted the child on the northbound tracks near Tarrytown and immediately alerted nearby train crews, the MTA said in a statement.
