Fellow passengers immediately crowd around her to help free her and seconds later, bystanders push the train, tilting it enough to allow the woman to break free.
Awful scene on the orange line. A woman¡¯s leg got stuck in the gap between the train and the platform. It was twisted and bloody. Skin came off. She¡¯s in agony and weeping. Just as upsetting she begged no one call an ambulance. ¡°It¡¯s $3000,¡± she wailed. ¡°I can¡¯t afford that.¡±
