"Let's try to lift this off ok?" one officer tells the other in the video, before yelling for a bystander to help. "Somebody pull him out!"
Officials said the officers made sure the man was still breathing and had a pulse before he was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. He was later released from the hospital.
"Through the officers' quick response times and high levels of physical fitness, they saved a man’s life," police said in a statement.
