Man falls into the track bed - three young women save his life
As the BR reports with reference to the police, the man fell onto the track bed at the Lower Franconian train station – possibly because he was physically restricted.
Three young women who were also at the station reacted immediately and jumped onto the track bed.
They called a man who was also present for help, but he simply turned away, one of the young women later reported to the police, stunned.
Another young man came to the rescue and bravely reached out from the platform to pull the fallen man off the track bed.

Mann would not have had a chance without the help of the young women
Together, the four young people rescued the man from the track bed.
A short time later, the BR reported, a freight train passed and the train towards Würzburg arrived.
Without the help of the three young women, the man would not have survived the fall onto the track bed.
Paramedics arrived a little later and took the man to the hospital.
At least apparently he was not injured in the fall, writes the BR – but as the police report, the corners of his mouth hanging down and his way of speaking indicated a stroke.
