Irishwoman survives being run over by three NY trains

A 22-year-old Irish immigrant has survived being run over by three subway trains in New York.

Identified as Mary Downey, the Woodlawn, Bronx, resident only suffered a broken shoulder when she fell from a station platform near Times Square at 6am on Sunday.

She somehow managed to catch the attention of the driver of the third train who reportedly moved swiftly and activated the emergency brakes as that train’s third carriage rolled over the helpless Ms Downey.
