The man, who Transport for London (TFL) described as “fully blind”, fell from the platform while a train was approaching.

After two fellow commuters flagged down station staff, the power to the line was cut and an oncoming train halted.

The man was then helped to safety.

A TFL spokeswoman told the Ham&High: “He wasn’t injured at all.”

After their heroic intervention, the two passengers got on a train before staff could thank them.

The spokeswoman said: “The station staff are very grateful for what they did.”
