Passengers Rock a Train Back & Forth Free Trapped Man

Approximately 50 Passengers assist in rocking a train back and forth to free the trapped man. He walked away without serious injury. The footage shows the man step awkwardly and slip down the gap, when attempting to board a train into the city at Stirling Station this morning. When he was unable to free himself, passengers and bystanders lined up beside the train and began rocking it back and forth. A Transperth spokesman said the accident was an impressive feat because the gap between the train and platform was less than 5cm. Passengers were asked to stand to the other side of the carriage to push the weight away from the man but it was not enough to free him, the spokesman said. "When that didn't work, they got people off and gathered together enough of them to line up, 50 or so, and say `one, two, three, push'," he said. Paramedics treated the man but he was not badly injured and caught a later train. Video Credit TransPerth A close up image showing how trapped he was.
