The footage captured on the platform’s CCTV on Tuesday shows a woman carrying her child in her arms trying to board. She lost her balance and fell with the child. Soye rushed and pulled the two from getting dragged under the train and while he grabbed the child, an onlooker pulled the mother.
Railway Protection Force’s Mumbai Division posted the footage and commended the officer’s action.
