New video shows the tense moment a 5-year-old girl was pulled safely out from under a Bronx subway car after her suicidal dad fatally jumped in front of the incoming train with the tot in his arms Monday.

In the dramatic video taken by a witness across the elevated platform at the Kingsbridge Road station, two men can be seen on the tracks, pulling the backpack-wearing child out from under the No. 4 train and placing her on the subway platform where throngs of bystanders crowded.

Straphangers on the platform were visibly relieved when the men raised the child onto the platform and she took a few steps towards them, the clip shows.

Cesar Dominguez, 29, a father of six was one of the two Good Samaritans who jumped onto the tracks to rescue the little girl.

“The guy jumped,” Dominguez said of the child’s father. “Nobody fell. Nobody pushed him…Never in my life have I seen something like that.”

Dominguez said he “had to jump down” after he heard the terrified youngster crying and yelling over, “my dad, my dad, my dad.”

“When I hear her crying, I hear my daughter,” said Dominguez who added that “the train did not hit the girl.”

Dominguez identified the other Good Samaritan as a man named Tony who had been standing on the platform at the time of the incident.

“The train couldn’t stop [in time]. It was going so fast,” Dominguez said.

“After the train stopped, he’s jumping and trying to help both of them [the child and her dad],” Dominguez said of Tony. “He helped with the little kid, but he couldn’t help with the father. The father was over.

He noted that Tony had hurt his leg and was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital for treatment.

Miraculously, the little girl only suffered minor injuries after her father, 45, leaped in front of the southbound train holding her in his arms at around 8 a.m. before horrified commuters.

“She got lucky,” a police source said of the child. “It’s amazing that she’s alive.”

Emergency responders pronounced the child’s father dead at the scene.

Following the incident, the little girl was captured on video being carried in the arms of an FDNY medic to an ambulance.

She was taken to Jacobi Medical Center.
