Fiji born man hailed as hero in London

Fiji born and former British Army Officer Francis Tuinasakea has been hailed as a hero for stopping a man from falling from a 35 feet wall at the London Bridge Station.

31-year-old Tuinasakea was working overnight at the station when he came across the man running across tracks and trying to leap over a wall.

Tuinasakea says if the man would have touched the cables he would have died from the high electric voltage.

He adds that before the man got to the last line, he managed to drag him across and pinned him down.

One of his colleagues filmed the dramatic exchange.

The footage shows the man saying to workers “I would rather you guys beat me up and kill me” before making a desperate dart to the wall.

Tuinasakea and his colleagues are then seen chasing the man over the tracks and effortlessly picking him up as he appears to climb over. 

The tracks were closed off and police were called to the scene.
