Police have warned Sydneysiders to be vigilant after a teenage boy was hit by a light rail tram in the city's eastern suburbs on Friday.
The 15-year-old boy suffered minor head injuries when he was struck while walking across the intersection between Lang Road and Anzac Parade in Moore Park.
Emergency services were called to the scene at about 1:40pm and the boy was transferred to Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick in a stable condition for further treatment.
NSW Police said the driver of the tram underwent mandatory testing and investigations were still ongoing, news.com.au reports.
But NSW Ambulance's acting inspector, Scott Larsen, told 7 Newsit was a "very close call".
