‘I’m meant to be dead’: Woman’s hunt for hero who saved her moments before train hit

'I just have to find him, he saved my life'

A woman is searching for the man who saved her life after rescuing her when she fell on the tracks of the London Underground. Tegan Badham was on her way to Wireless Festival when she tripped and fell onto the tracks at King's Cross' underground station. She was electrocuted and unable to move when a stranger pulled her to safety just seconds before a train came round the corner. Speaking about the ordeal to the Sun, she said: “I was in agony, I could smell my own flesh burning and my brand new dress shrivelled up from the electricity. Even my hair extensions were fried. "It all happened so fast but a man grabbed hold of my arms and pulled me up." Now, Tegan is trying to find him so she can thank him in person. She describes him as being possibly in his 30s, wearing casual clothes and that he had "light brown, blonde hair." "I just have to find him, he saved my life," she said. “I was too shocked to thank him and he was catching the train that came into the station. I was so lucky that he bravely reached down to me, without him I would be dead now.”

A TfL spokesperson said: “We are sorry to hear that a customer at King’s Cross St Pancras station sustained minor injuries after a fall onto the Victoria line track and would like to thank those who helped her. We wish her a full and quick recovery and want to reassure customers that their safety is paramount to TfL.”
