Firefighters free man whose head was trapped in the gap between a train and platform in dramatic rescue
Members of the public who were on the platform tried to free the man themselves but then had to inform railway workers at the scene, who then called the fire department
The shocking moment firefighters were caught on camera freeing a man who was trapped by the neck between the slim gap between a train and the platform has emerged from Argentina. Members of the public on the platform tried to free the man themselves but then had to inform railway workers at the scene, who then called the fire department, because they had specialist equipment to help the man.
The rescue workers put a large wooden block into the gap when they arrived at the platform, before they had to use the machine to expand the gap some more. They then got the commuters who were on the platform to push away the train carriage from the platform at the same time they expanded the gap, in the 10-minute rescue.
