A woman’s wheelchair got stuck in the platform gap at Botanic Gardens MRT station earlier this week, as commuters rushed to her aid and pulled her to safety.
The incident occurred on Jan 2 at around 4.40pm, when the front wheels of the device got caught in the narrow gap between platform and train. As the wheelchair tilted downwards, the woman held onto a passenger behind her to keep from falling off her seat. Another commuter then activated the train’s passenger emergency button.
A TikTok user shared a video of commuters helping the woman. In the video, two men are attempting to pull the wheels out of the gap, while others are trying to hold the train doors open. The train stopped at the station for about 3 minutes, TikTok user Sakil Khan said, which was enough time to prise the wheels out of the gap.
