Liverpool Hospital surgeon to attempt reattaching severed arm of Sydney man in train accident

Implanting the severed limb of a Brazilian factory worker in his stomach temporarily saved the man’s hand cut by an accident. At the Liverpool Hospital in New South Wales, surgeon would attempt to reattach surgically the severed right arm of a man injured in a train accident.

The 41-year-old man fell on Wednesday night on the tracks of the Warwick Farm Railway station and was trapped under the carriage. He was walking along the platform and fell at a time when a train pulled into the station. The train operator tried to stop but fail to do it in time.

Part of the victim’s right arm was severed when police officers from the Liverpool Local Area Command and South West Metropolitan Region Enforcement Squad arrived at the station at 10:50 pm, reports Daily Telegraph. The cops and paramedics provided first aid to the man with a makeshift tourniquet and then freed the victim after 12:15 am.

While attempting to free the man – who apparently fell unintentionally - train services between Villawood and Liverpool on the T3 line, and between Fairfield and Liverpool on the T2 line were suspended. By Wednesday morning, the two lines are back to normal operations, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

He was rushed to Liverpool Hospital where the man is being assessed for surgery. Meanwhile, Sydney Trains employees who witnessed the incident and were traumatised would be given access to counselling.
