Freddie Corbett, 15, and Harley Hollingworth, 16, noticed a man in a sleepingbag on a train station2 platform3 in South Yorkshire. But with just the two boysand two young women around, the man then walked to the tracks before saying,“I’mgoing to kill myself tonight.”
His “heart dropped4”when Freddie found out what the man was going to do.In no time he jumped onto the tracks at the station to save the man.
The 15-year-old described that when he got onto the tracks,“I was just like‘Ican’t let him die5, I’m putting myself at risk but it’s not just him and it’s not justme—it’s the train driver and everyone on the train.’”With a train coming, Freddiesaid,“You can’t think. You’ve just got to do it.”
With his friend Harley jumping down to help him, Freddie was asked if he feltlike a hero, but he replied, “I didn’t think it were as big as what other peoplethought. It was just another day. I’d do it again in no time. Every time.
