The train was not in motion at the time of the incident and passengers alerted the driver so that the train would not move.
An ambulance was called but the man was not taken to hospital.
Transperth spokesman David Hynes said: “It was not a problem caused by overcrowding”
Praising the efforts of those who assisted the man, Mr Hynes added: “Everyone sort of pitched in. It was people power that saved someone from possibly quite a serious injury.”
