Australia: Passengers join to tilt train, free man trapped against platform
CCTV footage in the station showed the man, who was trying to board a Perth-bound train, slipped and fall and his leg got trapped between the platform and the train.
Scores of passengers and the staff at the station joined to tilt the train as the man freed his leg.
"About 50 passengers were then lined up alongside the carriage and told to push," a passenger named Nic told The West Australian newspaper.
“We were able to move the train quite a bit,” he said. “The train moved 5-10cm on its suspension, which was enough to free his leg.”
The man was unhurt but the incident caused a 15-minute delay on the Clarkson line.
