BOSTON — The driver of Boston subway train that came to a screeching halt just before hitting a woman who had fallen onto the tracks has been hailed as a hero.

Charice Lewis got a radio call from fellow Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority employee Jacqueline Osorio, who was standing on the platform at North Station on Friday night when she saw the woman tumble.

Lewis, who saw passengers on the platform frantically waving their arms, immediately tugged her emergency brake.

The woman, whose name was not made public, suffered some scrapes and was taken to a hospital for evaluation. She told authorities she had been drinking.

Lewis and Osorio were recognized by state Transportation Secretary Jeffrey Mullan on Monday and received a call of congratulations from Gov. Deval Patrick.

    not sound disrespectful or anything, but it seems like a suicide attempt. she ran towards the tracks, stopped, backed up, and walked and jumped off. it seems as if she thought about it b/c the person smoking in the brown hat (around 1:15) is the same woman that jumped off. when the train stopped, she realized she failed and got up like damn!

    all i can do is smh at this…

    People are getting so drunk that they are falling onto the train tracks, yet there’s no “War on Alcohol”.

    If only the train ran her over, we’d be with one less drunken idiot on the planet. If Darwin is correct, her number will come up again soon…

    And I agree with davettalashley… Where is the War on Alchol? There are more alcholoics than drug addicts…

    Sad… but true.
