A commuter was injured after she got her leg stuck in the gap between the train and the platform.
Footage filmed by another passenger showed how the woman’s right limb was squashed in the tight space as officials tended to her.
The nasty-looking mishap unfolded as the train was pulling into a station.

Some reports say the woman was getting ready to alight when she was pushed by a street vendor who was running from inspectors.
The hawker allegedly pressed the emergency button to open the doors before the train had come to a complete stop.
As the doors opened, the woman fell into the gap between the train and the platform edge, trapping her leg.
Station security staff quickly arrived on the platform in São Paulo, Brazil, and cordoned off the area on Sunday (6 Apr).
Firefighters then arrived and tended to the woman, as reported by Need To Know.
After being freed from the narrow gap, she was taken to a nearby A&E.
It is not clear how serious her injuries were.
The São Paulo Metropolitan Trains Company (CPTM) said in a statement: “On Sunday afternoon, at around 1:40pm, a passenger accidentally fell into the gap between the train and the platform at Brás Station, on CPTM’s Line 11.
“She was assisted by the Fire Department’s rescue team, with support from the station’s security staff, and taken to a nearby medical facility.
“CPTM has said it regrets the incident and will investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident.”
