VIDEO: Girl’s pushchair falls on to train tracks in Philadelphia

A pushchair carrying a 14-month-old girl has rolled off a Philadelphia train station platform and fallen onto the tracks, injuring her.

The girl’s mother jumped onto the tracks to rescue her, and the girl was taken to hospital with a cut on her forehead.

Surveillance video shows the girl’s mother on the platform on Wednesday afternoon with the girl in a joggling pushchair, which slowly rolls forward before tumbling to the tracks about 5 feet below.

The pushchair comes to rest on the outer rail, which carries no electric charge. The woman is seen jumping down and lifting the infant to a man waiting on the platform.

Other passengers ran to help. One alerted transport police, who stopped an incoming train.

Transport officials say it looks as though the mother was distracted. Police say no charges will be filed.
