A 38-year-old woman sustained serious injuries after falling off a train at the Pettah railway station on Tuesday.
According to the police, Amina, a native of Cherpulassery in Palakkad, had her right arm partially severed after falling on the track while disembarking from the train, Mangalore Express. The incident occurred by around 4.40 a.m. when the train began to move and continue its journey to the Thiruvananthapuram Central railway station. Amina was part of a group of people who came to the city in connection with a relative’s treatment at the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, officials said.
She is believed to been the last one among the group to alight from the train. She was caught between the train and Platform No. 1. The train was brought to a quick halt, but not before a wheel ran over her arm. She was soon rushed to the Government MCH, where her condition was said to be stable, the police said.
