A blind man who was seconds away from being hit by an oncoming train before a good Samaritan rushed in to pull him from harm’s way has started a search to locate the stranger who saved his life.
Surveillance footage, which captured the incident late last week at the Peoria train station in Aurora, Colorado, shows Mike Wyatt carrying a brief case and walking stick approach a train crossing.
As the footage unfolds, Wyatt seems unaware that just moments away a train is barreling towards his direction.

Suddenly, a man comes into view and pulls Wyatt away with the train rolling through the crossing just seconds later.
If the passerby had not intervened, Wyatt could have potentially struck and killed, reported local NBC affiliate KUSA News.
The footage shows Wyatt expressing his gratitude for the assistance, and makes his way through the crossing once the train has safely departed.
But Wyatt has now begun a search for his guardian angel, posting himself at the same crossing with a sign that reads: ‘I’m looking for the young man who saved my life.’
‘I am so stoked right now thinking that guy is going to come down that ramp [from the platform],’ Wyatt told KUSA.
‘It really feels like someone is watching over me. I will be always remembering this man and his kindness.’
Although Wyatt knows virtually nothing about the man who saved his life, he still hopes they’re paths will cross once again.
‘You live and you die… It’s what you do in between, and this young man did a great thing for me and that’s what I want to say to him ‘thank you.”
