commuters work together to free stuck man. amazing picture

Nicolas Taylor told Perth Now that he and fellow passengers got off the train and worked together to free the man by pushing against the carriage away from the platform.

'He seemed to be a bit sheepish, because right where he fell was the ‘mind the gap’ writing,' he said.

Mr Taylor said Transperth staff coordinated the incident well, taking about 10 minutes to free him.





All heave! Commuters work together to free with their bare hands man whose leg had become stuck between platform and train
People power saved a commuter whose leg became wedged between the gap in Perth, Western Australia during rush hour
Transperth praised the actions of all who helped lift the train off the man
The incident was not a problem caused by overcrowding
Ambulance were called but the man escaped without injury

seen on every platform and train in UK and Australia. I would feel sheepish,too, but VERY thankful people were there and so willing to help. Good on them!
