According to online videos, the female passenger's thigh was stuck in the gap between the platform and the train, unable to move and crying loudly. The netizen who posted the video said that when he heard many people signal the subway driver not to close the door or drive, the subway guide immediately pulled down the red emergency brake button and used the walkie talkie to stop the subway from opening. "It's very scary. In a moment of panic, someone called the police in a timely manner. I hope everything is okay."
The surging news reporter learned from the Shanghai Metro that at about 7:00 am on September 11, Xizang South Road Station of Metro Line 8 was heading for Shendu Highway Station. A passenger at the door accidentally stuck his leg in the gap between the train and the platform. The staff immediately rescued the passenger after finding it. They used a dilator to stretch the rubber strip at the edge of the platform, and then rescued the passenger. The passenger was sent to the hospital for examination as having a skin injury to the leg, which is not a major concern.

The Shanghai Metro stated that due to the slight swaying of the train body during operation, there must be a certain safety gap between the platform and the train to ensure the train passes through. At the same time, to prevent passengers from stepping empty, rubber strips are usually added to the edge of the platform to fill the gaps that are too wide. Shanghai Metro reminds passengers to be careful of platform gaps when getting on and off.
