Emergency responders were called to Richmond Railway Station just before 4 pm today, where quick-thinking commuters managed to pull the woman to safety. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Alfred Hospital in a stable condition.
An unknown man reportedly pushed her from behind while she was waiting on Platform 4. Police are still searching for the assailant who fled the scene. Authorities have urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
