Fellow passengers went over to help -- with one man racing down the platform raising his arms in the air to tell the train operator to stop.

Soon, a sea of waving arms covered the platform -- all reaching out to help.

The operator managed to bring the train to an emergency stop, well short of where the man was lying.
