Video: Stroller Falls in Front of Oncoming Train

A family is breathing heavy signs of relief in Melbourne, Australia, after a heart-stopping accident involving a stroller at a train station Wednesday.

It was caught on surveillance video.

The video shows the stroller rolling off the platform -- in front of an oncoming train.

The stroller was pushed about 30 feet before the train stopped.

The motorman is being hailed as a hero.

The baby, who was rushed to a hospital and reunited with his shocked mother, suffered only minor cuts and bruises.

His grandmother, who was looking after him, says she only turned away for a moment.

His three-year-old brother was also there.
