A woman was pulled to safety late Wednesday afternoon after she fell onto the LRT tracks at Rideau Station.

The incident on the westbound tracks happened at around 5:30 p.m.

She was rescued with the help of passengers and one of the “O-Train Ambassadors,” the red-vested workers who've been helping people navigate the light rail system, according to Troy Charter, director of transit operations for the City of Ottawa.

Witnesses said a train pulled up about a minute later.
