A CROWD of onlookers have miraculously freed a schoolgirl in Ireland after she was dragged almost 50m by a tram.
The teenager was screaming in agony, trying to free herself while her leg was caught underneath a carriage.
The Irish Mirror reports the woman was running for a bus with a bag full of books when she tripped on to the tracks as the tram hurtled towards her.
