Commuters push train to rescue trapped passenger in Beijing

Commuters at Dongzhimen subway station in downtown Beijing made a joint push of a train and free a passenger sandwiched between a carriage and the platform in a dramatic rescue on Thursday night.

The incident ended with a round of applause at 8:12 pm when the passenger was rescued.
