Footage shows the moment the brave men jumped between the live rails at King's Cross
Three heroes have been lauded after they risked their lives to try and save a woman stuck upside down in her mobility scooter on Tube tracks.
BTP say the woman was then rushed to hospital, and her injuries are believed to be "potentially life-changing". Omar said: "I was on the platform and there was a disabled woman on her mobility scooter with her daughter who looked around 18 or 19. The injured woman landed upside down and was seemingly lodged between the pit and the rails, and Omar says bystanders began shouting to move her foot so it wouldn't be crushed by the oncoming carriages.
Omar says one of the heroes was "zapped" by an electrified rail and dragged himself to safety before laying on the platform. Once the panic alarm had been pressed, Omar says an announcement boomed over the platform telling everyone to evacuate as transport workers and BTP officers ran in with the train seemingly halted in the tunnel.
We said 'You were so brave'. He could not really talk though he was in pieces." Omar said he stayed on the platform to keep a look out for the oncoming train entering the tunnel, but luckily it never arrived.Top news stories today "But the platform did not say it was not coming. We were all on the edge of our seats until BTP came running in."
