中学生が今にも線路に…「止めないかん」2人が応えた14歳のsos信号

 線路に飛び降りようとしていた男子中学生(14)を説得し思いとどまらせたとして、兵庫県警明石署は23日、JR西日本メンテック明石営業所(明石市)の武者三郎さん(65)と荒巻淳一さん(66)に県の善行表彰「のじぎく賞」を贈った。

 署などによると、2月22日正午ごろ、武者さんはJR西明石駅の近くの事務所から電車の清掃作業に向かう途中、陸橋のフェンスの外側に身を乗り出している男子中学生を発見した。「外側から出なさい」と声をかけ、事務所に戻って同僚に協力を要請し、近くまで接近していた電車に向かって停止の合図を送るなどした。

 事務所にいた荒巻さんは中学生の元に駆け付け、「落ちたらメッチャ痛いんやで、もうちょいこっち来い」と誘導。学生服をつかんで抱え、救助した。「もう大丈夫」と声をかけると、中学生は大きな声を張り上げて泣いたという。中学生は救急隊員に保護された。

 武者さんは「止めないかん、やめてほしい一心だった」。荒巻さんは、今思い悩む人に向けて「つらい時は『つらい』と黄色信号を出してほしい。赤信号になったら終わりだから。悩む前に相談できる相手を作り、周りに助けを求めて、発散してほしい」と語った。【木山友里亜】
