A high school student has suffered a serious injury after falling from a train platform and becoming trapped underneath a train at North Melbourne station.
Emergency services attended the scene to assist with the rescue effort of the boy, who is a year 7 student at St Aloysius College in North Melbourne.
A spokesperson from Ambulance Victoria confirmed that there had been an incident in North Melbourne at about 3.50pm on Monday.
“A boy with a serious lower body injury was transported by road ambulance to the Royal Children’s Hospital. There are no further details at this stage.”
A letter from St Aloysius principal Mary Farah was sent out to parents on Monday afternoon, confirming that a serious incident had occurred but saying that details were limited.
“At approximately 4pm today, we received reports that one of our year 7 students was involved in an accident at North Melbourne Train Station. At this stage, we have very few specific details regarding the circumstances or the student’s current condition,” the letter said.
“Events like this can be deeply unsettling for our young people. Please be mindful of your child’s wellbeing this evening.”
