A Perth man slipped and became wedged between a train and the platform at Stirling station on Wednesday afternoon.
Security footage obtained by ABC News shows the man falling through the gap.
The commuters and passengers then mobilised for some good old-fashioned people power.
Hynes said the train staff got the passengers off the train "and organised them to sort of rock, tilt the train backwards away from the platform, so they were able to get him out and rescue him."
The train required two pushes for the man to dislodge his leg be set free.
