Woman jumps on Metro track to pick up phone; train ops hit for 15 mins in Bengaluru

Bengaluru: A woman jumped on the metro railway track at the Indiranagar station to pick up her fallen mobile phone on Monday evening, but escaped unhurt, thanks to the quick reflexes of a co-passenger and the security guard on duty.

Train services on the Purple Line were, however, disrupted for 15 minutes, officials said.

While the co-passenger lent her hand and helped her back onto the platform, a security guard switched off the third rail power supply through the emergency trip system, averting a freak accident.
