Student falls on train track in Ankara, line suspended

A university student fell onto the metro rail on Ankara’s Kızılay-Çayyolu line on Jan. 30.

A group has attempted to rescue the wounded Bilkent University student at the stop where the incident occurred as train services on the line were suspended.

“The student is stuck under the front wheels of the train,” Şamil Demir, lawyer and Ankara Bar member told daily Hürriyet.

The student is able to respond to questions, Demir said.

The station is being evacuated as rescue efforts continue. Disrupted passengers are being redirected to other means of transportation in the area.
