Two men were seen barely conscious at a Brooklyn subway station on Tuesday, after one man collapsed onto the tracks and another passed out on the platform.
Confronting video shows one man, with an ankle that appears to be twisted, struggling to move as he lies on the subway tracks, his shirt risen up and his face bleeding.
The man dangles his hand through the above-ground slats, as others on the platform beg him to stay still.
Taiberious Carr, who filmed the event, said the man on the track’s face was electrocuted when he fell, causing his skin to burn.
Carr said multiple people called the police, but nobody jumped on to the tracks with him, as they did not want to be electrocuted.
‘I damn sure ain’t no paramedic but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out he was electrocuted from the third rail,’ he told commenters on his clip.
‘Yes it is K2 they smoke it everyday in that very subway.’
A spokesman for New York Police Department confirmed officers from the 83rd precinct were on site at the scene at Myrtle and Broadway station.
He said the man, 51, had fallen on the tracks ‘possibly after smoking K2’ and was taken to hospital.

K2 is a synthetic form of marijuana, which can cause horrific side effects leaving users acting like zombies.
The Myrtle Avenue and Broadway intersection has long been considered a hot spot for the synthetic drug, with use in the area reaching ‘epidemic’ proportions in 2016, NBC reported.
Selling the drug became illegal late in 2016, but many say K2 is still readily accessible.
