Mayor Eric Adams on Monday honored two heroic NYPD officers who rescued a man from the East Harlem subway tracks on Thanksgiving, deeming them the embodiment of valor among the department’s ranks as they leapt to the rails just ahead of an arriving 6 train.

“These officers are representative of how we’re going to fulfill our commitment and promise of regaining the safety in our subway system,” Hizzoner said of Officers Taufique Bokth and Brunel Victor Monday morning, at the 116th Street 6 train stop in East Harlem where the duo made the daring rescue. “They embody the values of courage, caring, and compassion.”
