Dozens
of people helped rescue a fellow commuter in Australia by pushing against a
train car to free the man whose leg had slipped between the platform and the
train.
Closed-circuit footage released by the Western
Australia State Public Transport Authority showed the man lost his footing
while boarding the train at a station in the city of Perth on Wednesday.
A
passenger alerted railway staff who stopped the train from leaving, local media
said. When railway workers realized the man couldn't move, they called on other
passengers to help.
The footage shows dozens of people rushing to help
tilt the car to free the man, who fell at least thigh deep into the platform
gap.
"It's really heartwarming I think, to find an
incident like this where everyone pitched in," transport authority
spokesman David Hynes said.
The man wasn't named, but local media reported that he
was believed to have escaped injury and caught the next train.
