A bloodied pilot who survived an emergency crash landing was pulled from his plane by police just seconds before a train barreled into the aircraft in California on Sunday. 

The dramatic scene at a Metrolink rail crossing in the Pacoima neighborhood of Los Angeles was caught on video by police body cameras: 

Police said the plane lost power, which caused it to crash on the railroad crossing. 

The pilot, who has not been publicly identified, was taken to a regional trauma center. Los Angeles County Public Works described the pilot’s injuries as “minor ” and said Metrolink service would resume in the area by evening.  

There were no other reports of injuries.
