Said the following about Joseph Gray:

“A well-known trespasser at the station attempted to jump down onto platform 2 track to commit suicide. Fortunately for the staff and passengers, Joe Gray was right there when this male attempted to jump. Joe (who had not actually started his shift yet) managed to put his arms under the armpits of the person and interlocked his arms and pulled him away from the track, this was not an easy thing to do as the person is very big and strong. He held him down as he was screaming out that he wanted to die. The police were called and arrived quickly and after sometime the male was taken out of the station, an ambulance was also in attendance at the request of the police. A massive appraisal has to go to Joe for acting so quickly and preventing what could have been a fatality had this man got onto the track, so a very well done to Joe Gray.“
