The NSW premier has praised the actions of a father who tried trying to retrieve his twin daughters from the path of an oncoming train after a pram carrying the toddlers rolled onto train tracks in Sydney's south.
A father who died trying to save his twin toddlers after their pram rolled onto train tracks in an apparent accident in Sydney's south has been lauded as "brave and heroic". The 40-year-old man died at the scene along with one of his toddlers, a two-year-old girl. A second two-year-old girl and a 39-year-old woman are being treated in hospital.
"Police climbed under the train and rescued one of the children, who was thankfully unharmed, and reunited her with the mother. "Sadly, the other child, a two year old female, and her father who attempted to save the child, have passed away as a result." NSW Premier Chris Minns said the local Indian community, which the family were part of, would be struggling today after such a "terrible" accident and tragedy.
