Big thanks to Dave on this for the phone call - much appreciated!

Girl is fine.

Her foot was caught between the step on the train and the platform. FESA went to work with a screwdriver to undo the step releasing her foot.

I was still about 20 minutes away when FESA was leaving the train station so I turned around.

Reports on 6PR this morning say that the woman in question is being spoken to by police as apparently she was trying to kick in windows on the train before she slipped and got her foot caught.

If this is true, that has to be one of the fastest cases i've karma i've ever heard of :wink:

Maybe one for the stupid criminals thread :roll:

Lol if you're right vortex that sure is some quick karma. If only all retribution was like that! :mrgreen:

My mate who was at the shops in Gosnells nearby when it happened said they could hear a girl screaming coming from the train station area, then they saw the lights and sirens :? Youch

they showed the footage on the news, she brought it on herself, it showed her kicking the door, then going to kick it a second time then slipping over. it was pretty quick of the train driver to stop so quickly. no sympathy from me
