“We were able to move the train quite a bit,” one passenger, identified only as "Nic," told the newspaper.

The man reportedly was seen walking after the incident and did not require hospitalization.

“We hear a lot about poor behavior on public transport," said Transperth spokesman David Hynes. "It’s really great when something like this happens and people work together to help a fellow commuter.”
