Justice Zihor told the court he fell from the train while it was approaching the platform at Kopanong station in Soshanguve.
He testified that he fell on top of a concrete slab alongside the railway tracks.
However, paramedics said Zihor was fully conscious when they arrived at the scene, and spoke to them. Zihor had claimed he was pushed out at the platform of the station as the other commuters tried to rush out of the doors. Further, he was on a non-passenger train, which did not stop at any of the stations it passed on its journey.
