WARNING - THIS VIDEO MAY SHOCK SOME VIEWERS.
 
Security video has been released of the moment a pram carrying a baby rolled into the path of a Melbourne train. Miraculously, the baby survived.

As you can clearly see in the video, the pram rolls off the platform and onto the tracks. The frantic driver slams on the brakes, but the train still pushes the pram 30m along the track.

A person on the platform stopped the mother jumping onto the tracks to try to save the child.

The six-month-old received only minor injuries, and paramedics say being strapped into the pram probably saved the baby's life.

A miraculous survival indeed! But the video does not show anyone holding the mother back. The author of the article should have looked at the video first, before writing. Let us all make sure that prams and strollers cannot roll on station platforms or onto roadways, because a baby could easily end up like the victims of abortion clinics. BR

i didnt hear what exactly happened, but i saw the vid and i was in shock! (had my hand over my mouth just as the pram fell onto the tracks).. that baby is VERY lucky! i'm sure whoever was in charge of looking after the baby, should use the 'stopper' so the wheels wont roll.
