Indian Man Leaps In Front Of Train To Save Granddaughter In Australia

A 62-year-old Indian man did not think twice before leaping in front of an approaching train to save his 18-month-old granddaughter at an Australian railway station, media reports said on Tuesday.

 

The grandfather, who had arrived in Australia only a few days ago, launched himself into the path of the train at Sydney's Wentworthville station on Sunday after the pram holding the toddler rolled onto the tracks

 

The man picked up the pram and handed it back to his wife and the distraught mother of the child, who stood on the platform. But he did not have much time to get back up to the platform and was forced to run for his life along the tracks until he could throw himself off to the side.
