Six teenagers who helped prevent a suicidal young man from stepping in front of a train have received awards for their actions.
The quick-thinking group were nominated by KentOnline s sister paper the Kentish Gazette for a Kent County Council Try Angle Award, after the paper broke news of their bravery.

The group had been waiting for a train in Herne Bay on the evening of October 24, when they noticed an 18-year-old on the opposite side of the tracks, standing close to the platformâs edge.
