A few monkeys ran into trouble on electrical wires running over a train station in India, sparking a heroic rescue effort by one of the animals that was caught on video. An injured money was reportedly electrocuted overhead and fell into an area of pipes, walkways and platforms located near the tracks. The video picks up when one of the other monkeys tries furiously to pull the limp, injured monkey out of a sunken and water-filled area off the tracks and revive the animal. The rescue plays out over a few minutes, and you can see the electrocuted monkey slowly come back around. As a train arrives, cheers erupt among the crowded platform of passengers who stood by and watched in fascination as the scene played out. By video's end, you can see the injured monkey up and around. He even gets a rub on the back from his rescuer.
