Early this morning Sean McCarthy spotted a man down on the subway tracks, Twittering: "man passed out in the tracks on 6 line southbound at 23rd st. Alerted MTA but still had to wave down train. Phew! Too close." After that he uploaded this image from the scene, saying: "Train arrived before the medics did. Thank God the conductor saw me!"

It's unclear whether the passed out man was drunk, but it reminds us of this inebriated lady who fell on the tracks in Boston a few months ago.
