A schoolgirl has narrowly escaped death after a woman pulled her off the tracks of an oncoming train.
The incident occurred as the girl dropped what appears to be a hula hoop onto the tracks. CCTV shows her attempting to retrieve the toy, then struggling to climb back to safety as a train began to pull into the station.
As the train began to roll towards the child, a woman wearing a purple head-covering, ran over and pulled her from an almost certain death.
The girl was saved, moments away from a near death
No one was injured in the dramatic event.
The footage illustrates the dangers of trespassing onto railways and the video was released in line with a new campaign to keep people safe.
Sydney Trains Chief Executive Howard Collins said in a statement: "Trespassing on the tracks is a major issue.
“Every year around 4,000 people trespass on the tracks for a range of reasons from taking shortcuts to committing graffiti vandalism.
