Three passengers have been hailed heroes after rescuing a toddler who fell under a train in Sydney this morning.
The toddler stepped off the train at 9.15am a Wolli Creek, in the city's inner south, and fell down the gap between the train and the platform.
Her mother was trying to get her other child, who was in a pram, onto the service at the time.
Three male passengers jumped onto the tracks to retrieve the child, who had crawled all the way under train and out the other side. Nine
The train guard alerted the driver, and the station's duty manager rushed to help.
