A true hero saved a toddler
who fell down on the rail lines right before the train passed by the child.
This is the heart-stopping moment a toddler was saved by a hero commuter after falling onto a railway line seconds before a high-speed train thundered past.
CCTV footage captured the dramatic near-miss at Newark Northgate railway station in Nottinghamshire last month. The 36-second clip shows the three-year-old boy walking behind two adults before running to the edge of the platform.
Not many people would do such a thing, but this man is extra special. The hero was anonymous, and likely didn't want to brag about his actions.
He appears to lower himself over the edge before tumbling backwards onto the track.
A man who was with the child is seen sprinting across the platform while a hero bystander leaps onto the line and lifts the boy to safety.
Just 22 seconds later a train speeds through the station without stopping.
It's people like these who make the world a much better on the third rock from the sun.
The video can be seen at the link. It's scary stuff.
"A man who was with the child is seen sprinting across the platform..." WTH??
ReplyDeleteA toddler should be holding hands with someone, preferably a parent or older sibling, not left on its own near train tracks. NEVER LET THE CHILD LOOSE. Not only could he fall onto the tracks, but he could be snatched by a pedo.
It's amazing the kid wasn't killed.
