(CNN) -- A six-month-old baby had a miraculous escape after his stroller rolled off a railway station platform and into the path of an incoming train.
The stroller rolling towards the edge of the platform.
The incident, which happened Thursday at Ashburton railway station in Melbourne, Australia, was captured by CCTV.
The footage shows the baby's mother momentarily letting go of the stroller, which then rolls over the edge of the platform. Second later, a train pulls in to the station.
The stroller and baby were dragged 30 meters (33 yards) further up the track before the train came to a halt.
John Rees, a spokesman for train operator Connex, told Australia's Channel 7 television station: "It's a miracle this baby wasn't killed. The baby managed to escape with just a cut to the forehead, I'm told. It's a complete miracle."
The baby boy was quickly reunited with his distraught mother. He was taken to Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital but was later discharged.
Channel 7 said the incident came just a day after the launch of a public awareness campaign warning of the dangers of strollers on platforms.
Victoria state police sergeant Michael Ferwerda told Channel 7: "Parents especially need to be vigilant especially with toddlers."

The belly of the train not being low enough to crush the child(I believe standard law pertaining to the manufacturing of trains and the always present threat of debris) on top of the distance between the platform and the center of the tracks relative to the starting position of the stroller after having been unattached to anything preventing it from rolling down the pitch of the deck is what saved this child's life.
The outcome could have been more horrific given the variances of railway platforms and those that would ever let go of a baby stroller on top of a railway platform at that I would guess, ever so edumecatedly, is designed to allow rain water to roll off of it. From which would account for the decline of the pitch. Given those that are obviously.
Moral of the story? For everyone's sake that is holy keep your strollers sideways along the railway platforms and if you absolutely have to take your hands off of it at all lock the wheels.
