A woman fell onto train tracks in Argentina, prompting her fellow commuters to signal frantically for the train operator to hit the brakes in a dramatic moment caught on video.

The scene unfolded Tuesday in Buenos Aires, with one commuter who appears to pass out on the platform falling forward and accidentally knocking the woman into the path of an approaching train, according to surveillance footage released by police.

Other riders jumped into action, screaming and waving their arms and bags at the train operator, who spotted their alert in time.

The train stopped several feet from the prone woman in the tracks, at the Pueyrredón station of the Buenos Aires Underground's D line.
