"People power" has saved a commuter after he became trapped between a train and a station platform.
Dozens of passengers helped tilt the carriage on Wednesday to free the man, who slipped as he was boarding just moments before the train was due to leave Sterling Station in western Australia for Perth.
Security cameras captured the fall which resulted in the passenger's left leg becoming wedged in a two-inch gap between the carriage and platform.
Station staff's attempts to pull him free failed, and passengers were initially told to move to the opposite side of the carriage in the hope their weight would shift it away from his leg, without success.
The man slipped as he was boarding the Perth-bound trainEventually, they were asked to get off the vehicle and help push the train to free up enough space for him to be lifted back up to safety.
Claire Krol, a spokeswoman for train operator Transperth, said: "It is the first time we've seen something like this happen.
"We were really fortunate that the staff were there straight away ... and all of the passengers not only listened to the instructions from staff, but pitched in and helped.
"This is a real case of passengers of working together ... and people power are the perfect words to describe it."
The man was treated by paramedics but was able to catch a later train.
