A commuter who trapped his leg between a train and the platform has been freed after 50 or so of his fellow passengers pushed the carriage back.

The man was boarding the train into Perth at Stirling station on Wednesday morning when he stepped awkwardly, causing him to slip down the gap.

One passenger said the man appeared to be in shock but not in pain, and was lifted to safety by two other passengers once the gap widened. Paramedics treated the man but he was not badly injured and caught a later train.
