''Jordan Dallard was on his way home last Friday evening when his commute suddenly took a horrifying turn.

Dallard said he was holding a microwave that he had just bought and was in an “extremely congested” Bloor-Yonge station in Toronto, making his way to the subway.

He admitted he was walking on the yellow strip very close to the track — closer than he should have been, but was in a rush. Dallard said he was making his way down the platform and was saying “excuse me” to people as he made his way through with the box holding the microwave.

“At one point when I reached one gentleman, he just didn’t respond at all,” Dallard explained, adding that he then repeatedly said “excuse me” to the man.

“And as I did, it was so congested, the corner of the box just nudged him. At that point, he turned around very disgruntled. He said, ‘Are you f***ing kidding me?’ and he pushed me back onto the track.”

Dallard said it all happened “very quickly” and was “like a movie.”

“I remember vividly hearing many people screaming. All I remember is them trying to help me,” he said.

“Immediately people threw their arms out because I didn’t realize as I was getting to my feet, a train was coming into the station.”

Dallard said he then tried to jump for the people’s hands who were reaching out to help, but he missed.

“The train is almost at me at this point so I just grabbed the top of the platform on the yellow strip and at this point the train hit me,” he said.

Dallard said his only idea was to try to stay between the train and the platform, and so he grabbed onto the front of the subway and “held on for dear life.”

He said his chest was pressed up against the platform and one of his arms was holding onto the train.

“It was very painful, but when you go into shock you don’t feel the pain immediately,” he said.

The train then stopped and bystanders went to assist and get him up off the tracks.

He was later treated in hospital for his injuries, most of which are on the left side of his body.''
