Woman on scooter rescued in City Loop

Emergency services took almost 90 minutes to rescue a woman on a mobility scooter who fell onto tracks at Parliament station.

Police, paramedics and firefighters were called to rescue the woman, aged in her 60s, who fell from platform 3 just before 1.30pm.

The Sunbury, Upfield and Craigieburn lines were running direct to Flinders Street instead of through the City Loop.

Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen said it appeared as though she had sustained a broken leg.

A Public Transport Victoria spokesman said emergency services were controlling the site.

"Please listen for announcements, as some services may be altered at short notice," he said.
