Mr Jith Joseph had just boarded the train at Serangoon MRT station on the Circle Line when he noticed a woman pushing a pram into the carriage as the train doors were closing.

The doors closed shut right after the pram entered the carriage, leaving the woman in her 30s stranded on the platform in shock.

She banged on the train doors as it pulled away, distraught at being separated from her baby daughter, who is about a year old.

Quick-thinking Mr Joseph, 32, realised the child had no other family members on the train and alerted passengers that they had to help.

Mr Jith Joseph, who has a daughter, Isabel, said he fully understood the pain that the mother must have gone through when she was separated from her baby girl.
