Train passengers and railway staff push a train car to rescue a trapped woman at Minami Urawa station. Photograph: Norihiro Shigeta/AP Dozens of Japanese commuters pushed a 32-tonne train carriage away from the platform to free a woman who had fallen into the 20cm (8in) gap between it and the platform.

The unnamed woman in her 30s was then pulled out uninjured to applause from onlookers at JR Minami-Urawa station, just north of Tokyo. After just an eight-minute delay, the train went on its way.

Mason and his dog, Prada, are both 5 years old. They’ve lived in Queens, N.Y., since Mason’s mom, Kelly Charon, rescued Prada in April 2012. Last October, during Superstorm Sandy, their family was exposed to mold after the dining room ceiling collapsed. Charon told The Huffington Post that Mason and his siblings then began experiencing “chest infection after chest infection.” And in November, when Mason was having difficulty breathing one night, Charon hooked him up to a nebulizer. She left the room after he fell asleep. When she came back, she found him and Prada [as shown in the photo above] Charon told HuffPost that Mason and his siblings haven’t gotten sick since the mold was removed from their house. But she’ll never forget this moment. “It took my breath away,” she said.”

Two teenage boys are being hailed as heroes after they chased a car carrying a kidnapped girl — on their bicycles. Five-year-old Jocelyn Rojas was playing in her front yard in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when she vanished Thursday afternoon. Authorities believe she was abducted by a man who lured her by offering ice cream. For two hours, neighbors and police scoured the area and asked if anyone had seen her. Temar Boggs, 15, and his friend took off on their bicycles to search. About a half-mile away, they spotted Jocelyn in a sedan. But the driver was elusive. “Every time we’d go down the street, he’d turn back around, and then … we’ll follow him,” Temar told CNN affiliate WGAL. The two teens chased the alleged kidnapper on their bikes for 15 heart-pounding minutes. The driver apparently knew he was being followed and gave up. “He stopped at the end of the hill and let her out, and she ran to me and said that she needed her mom,” Temar said. Jocelyn’s relatives and neighbors took turns hugging Temar. “He’s our hero. There is just no words to say,” Jocelyn’s grandmother Tracey Clay said.
