Commuters Use People Power to Push Train Off Trapped Man

 

A commuter whose leg slipped into the space between a train and the platform was freed by his fellow passengers, who gathered around and pushed the train car enough to release his trapped limb.

The man was boarding the train in Perth, Australia around 9 AM, and misstepped right next to the painted warning to ‘Mind The Gap’.

The surveillance camera caught the spontaneous community rescue and the video was shared with Australian media.
