A two-year-old girl who fell between a platform and a train at a station in China was pulled to safety by a police officer.

The video, filmed in Xiamen City in southern Fujian Province on April 29, shows a two-year-old girl stepping into a gap between the train and the platform after she runs past a woman.

A man can then be seen running back to check on the girl.

A police officer was able to pull the girl to safety in two minutes with the help of passersby, reports said, while the train remained stationary at the platform.
