In a Moscow subway station, a potentially tragic situation swiftly turned into an uplifting one. 
 
A 70-year-old woman commuter was exiting the train when her foot got caught in the gap between carriage and platform. What happened next will raise your spirits.
 
Dozens of commuters waiting on the platform rushed to help and, in perfect coordination, used brute force to rock the train carriage and free the trapped passenger. 
 
The driver of the train was also reportedly alerted. 
 
According to LifeNews, it took the commuters about 15 seconds to rescue the passenger in trouble. She was then taken to hospital to be treated for her injured leg.
 
The footage from this caught-on-camera incident will help restore just about anyone's faith in humanity.
