About 130 people were rescued from an elevated train in Tokyo on Sunday after it was hit by a crane, media reports said.
They were rescued unharmed after nearly two hours when another train using an adjacent track pulled alongside allowing the stranded passengers to walk across a board between the doors of the two trains, Kyodo news agency said.
The front car of the monorail train, linking central Tokyo to the city's Haneda airport, was struck by a crane being used in a street 8 metres (26 ft) below the tracks, it said.
One of the rescued passengers, a 37-year-old woman who complained of feeling ill, was taken to hospital, it said. The monorail service resumed after being closed for seven hours due to the accident.
