Dozens of people helped rescue a fellow commuter in Australia by pushing against train carriages to free the man whose foot had slipped between the platform and the train.

澳洲有數十人為協助拯救一名通勤客而把火車車廂推斜,好讓這名腳卡在月台與火車之間的男子脫困。

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.

西澳大利亞邦公共運輸局公布的閉路監視器畫面顯示,這名男子週三在伯斯市的一座車站上車時腳步不穩。

A passenger alerted railway staff who stopped the train from leaving, local media said. When railway workers realized the man’s foot was stuck in the 5-centimeter gap, they called on other passengers to help.

當地媒體報導,一名乘客通報鐵路員工,員工阻止火車離站。當鐵路員工發現這名男子的腳卡在5公分寬的縫隙中,便籲請其他乘客幫忙。

The footage showed dozens of people rushing to help tilt the carriages to free the man.

畫面顯示,數十人趕忙伸援把火車推斜,好讓這名男子脫困。

"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. (AP)

「我覺得這真的非常窩心,看到一件大家如此投入共襄盛舉的事件,」運輸當局發言人大衛.海因斯說。受困男子的身分並未曝光,但當地媒體報導,據信此人並未受傷,並且搭上了下一班火車。
