A trainee nurse has been hailed a hero for rescuing a man who fell onto the railway tracks at a Brisbane station on Thursday morning, according to local media.
CCTV shows the 56 year old man -- had reportedly suffered seizures -- stumbling off the platform onto the track, followed not long afterwards by the nurse, who has been named in local media as Kay Seymour.
Queensland Rail said the quick-thinking staff member's call to the control centre stopped all trains on the line.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) JILL LYTEN, QUEENSLAND RAIL SAYING:
"Then we were all just yelling 'get off the tracks, get off the tracks.'"
With the help of other passengers the trainee nurse managed to get the man off the line and back onto the platform before heading off to college.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) JIM BENSTEAD, QUEENSLAND RAIL SAYING:
"If there was a train coming when this poor gentleman fell off the platform onto the tracks it could've been, it could've been disastrous."
