A little boy survived with only minor injuries after his stroller rolled off a train platform and into the path of an oncoming subway in Melbourne, Australia. Dean Felton reports from Seven Network Australia.
Security video footage released Friday shows the mother looking away for a moment when the stroller suddenly rolls off the edge of a station platform and onto the tracks. The mother panics as she looks back and sees the oncoming train hit the stroller, but the baby boy survived with only minor injuries.
Victoria state Police Sergeant Michael Ferwerda called Thursday's incident a "lucky escape" and said people should be cautious in train stations.
Ironically, Connex, the train operator, had just launched a campaign to raise awareness among parents about how to keep their children — "especially babies in prams" — safe when taking the train.
