A clumsy commuter face-planted on to train tracks while distracted on her phone.

According to reports, the woman was seen talking on her phone next to the edge of the platform.

Fortunately, the woman managed to get to her feet and take a seat on a nearby bench with minor injuries, as reported by Need To Know.

The station manager, who was on the platform after finishing his shift, called the emergency services and stayed with the woman until an ambulance arrived.

A Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway spokesperson said: “We would like to thank the employee at Polregio, the carrier operating the line, for his exemplary attitude, empathy, and responsibility.

“We know one thing – this situation could have ended tragicall.!

“Therefore, we appeal to all passengers to only use designated crossings and passageways.
