Opinion of the Court by
Judge Carroll
Reversing-
The appellee, Crank, who was a passenger on one of the appellant’s trains, brought this action against the company to recover damages for the wrongful acts of its conductor in forcing him from his seat in the car that he was occupying, and forcibly putting him out -on the platform, where he lost his balance and *332fell violently to the ground while the train was moving at a rapid rate of speed, injuring him quite severely. Upon a trial before a jury he recovered a judgment, which we are asked to reverse chiefly because of error in the instructions given to the jury.
It is conceded that appellee was a passen'ger on the train. His version of the affair that resulted in his injuries is as follows: "I got on board the train, and went in,' and all the seats were taken. Train seemed to be crowded, and there were no seats. I sat down on the arm of a seat next to the front end of the coach. I was sitting there with my feet out in the aisle, and had been there a little while when M'r. Johnson, the conductor, and two- other fellows came into the coach, and he took hold of me and says, 'Come on,’ and I asked him what was the matter and what he was going to do to me or what he was going to put me off for, and he gave me no answer, but took me by the shoulder and out on the platform, and stood there! I asked him what he was going to put me off for, and he says: 'You stay here. Don’t go back in that coach.’ I sat down on the steps and was sitting there, and the train gave a quick jerk and I fell over.” There was evidence that appellee was to some extent under the influence of liquor, and that he was vomiting in the car. Whether his vomiting was due to a sudden attack of sickness, or to the effects of whiskey that he had been drinking, we express no opinion. ■ The conductor testifies that when he first saw appellee he was standing in the aisle, "throwing up” in a lady’s lap ; that he took him by the arm, and led him away from the lady, and offered him a’ seat, when he said he wanted to get out on the platform, that he was sick and couldn’t stay in the car, and he left him standing on the platform in company with some other persons. He further *333said that he did not forcibly take him out on the platform, but led him out, and that appellee made no objection to going. Both appellee and the conductor were corroborated in their respective statements by other eyewitnesses to the occurrence. If appellee, although not helpless or so drunk as to be incapable of caring for himself, was boisterous or offensive, or vomiting in the car, to the disgust, annoyance, and discomfort of the other passengers, the conductor had the right to eject him from the train, after he had stopped it, at a place where, in the exercise of ordinary care, it would be reasonably safe to put appellant off. The conductor was authorized to take this action by section 806 of the Kentucky Statutes of 1903, which provides in part that: “If any person while riding on a passenger or other train shall in the hearing of persons or other passengers and to their annoyance, use, or utter, obscene or profane language, or behave in a boisterous, riotous manner, # * * it shall be the duty of the conductor in charge of any train upon which there is a person who has violated the provisions of this section either to put such person off the train or give notice of such violation to some peace officer at the first stopping place where any such officer may be.” We do not wish to be understood as saying that this section authorizes the ejection of an orderly, well-behaved passenger who is sick on the train, although his sickness may cause Mm to vomit or to otherwise do things that a well-behaved, orderly passenger in good health would not be guilty of. It only applies to persons who voluntarily, or while under the influence of liquor, act or behave in a boisterous, disorderly, riotous, indecent, and disgusting manner, to the annoyance of the other passengers.

But the conductor had no right to remove or eject appellee from the car, and require him to stand or remain on the platform of a moving train. The open and unprotected platform of a moving train is an unsafe and dangerous place for passengers to stand or sit, and for this reason all' well-regulated railroads forbid passengers from, being on the platform. If appellee was required by the conductor to leave the car and take a position on the platform, the company is liable for any injury sustained by appellee., whilst exercising ordinary care for his own safety, that resulted from this wrongful act of the conductor.
But the case must be reversed for the prejudicial error of the trial court in giving to the jury instruction No. 3, reading as follows: “If the jury should believe from the evidence that the defendant by its agents, servants or employes forced the plaintiff;' Jerry Crank, from a seat in the car he was occupying, and put. him on the platform or steps, and that he lost his balance and fell violently to the ground, while the train was moving at a rapid rate, and’ that by reason of such.fall he injured his arm, shoulder, and one of his feet, which injuries eaused him great suffering and loss of time, the láw is for the plaintiff, and the jury will find for the plaintiff the damages in any sum they may believe he'i's entitled tcj, not exceeding the sum of $2,000;” This instruction is open to the criticism that it fixes the liability’ of the company ’ without regard to whether or not' appellee exercised ordinary care to prevent falling or being thrown from the plat-' form, and also in failing to define correctly the meas-' *335ure of damages to wMeh lie was entitled. It will be noticed that the jury were instructed, if they found for plaintiff, to assess bis damage in any sum they might believe he was entitled to. They should have been told that, if they found for plaintiff, he was entitled to such damages as would reasonably compensate him for the mental and physical pain and suffering that he endured, if any, by reason of the negligent and wrongful acts of appellant’s agents and servants. The petition does not sufficiently allege the impairment of appellee’s power to earn money, or show the time lost, if any, or the medical expense incurred in effecting a cure, to warrant, an instruction on these points, although there is a general allegation that he lost time and incurred doctor’s bills. If plaintiff desired to recover for time lost or expenses incurred by reason of the injury, he should have set out specifically these items in his petition. " ■
On another trial, the court should insert in instruction No. 3 after the words “on the platform or steps and that” these words, “while in the exercise of ordinary care for his own safety,” and if the pleadings remain as they are, define in it as heretofore indicated the amount of damages appellee is entitled to recover, and also instruct the jury that, if appellee, .without being forced or directed so to do by the conductor voluntarily left the car and went out on the platform to stand or sit, they should find for the defendant.
Wherefore the judgment is reversed, with directions for a new trial consistent with this opinion.
