This is the terrifying moment a young boy falls between a stationary train and the platform at Cronulla train station in Sydney's southeast
The little boy misjudges the distance between the platform and the train and steps directly into the gap, his tiny frame fitting perfectly between the two.
The boy's grandfather watches on in horror as his grandson disappears down the gap and immediately begins to signal frantically to the train guard.
The man's wife also exits the train and attempts to get help for the boy.
The man then gets down on his hands and knees and reaches down to the boy and manages to pull him back out safely.

The man embraces the boy tightly before a Sydney Trains worker rushes over to check on the boys welfare and ask how the unfortunate mishap happened.
The boy appears to be uninjured although a little shaken from the ordeal.
Transport Minister Andrew Constance revealed 223 children fell beneath trains at Sydney stations last year, The Daily Telegraph reported.
'Our message is don't rush, hold your child's hand and please take care when you are at a busy station,' Mr Constance said.
