The passenger was trapped between the train and the platform wall.
A major accident was averted at a railway station in Bihar's Samastipur when a man slipped and fell on the railway tracks while trying to board a moving train. A video of the incident went viral on social media.
The passenger was trying to board the Bihar Sampark Kranti Express when he slipped and fell on the tracks, getting stuck between the train and the platform wall.
A video shows the train leaving the platform as someone asks those looking for the trapped passenger to stay away from the tracks. As the train leaves the station, a man lies next to the platform wall, with little to no injuries.
Once the man was spotted, a few people helped him off the track. The train stopped after traveling a short distance and the passenger was finally able to board and departed for his destination.
This incident comes weeks after train services at the Samastipur Junction railway station were halted for almost an hour after a fight broke out between two monkeys.
The incident took place near platform number 4, when both monkeys were fighting over a banana. One of the monkeys threw a rubber-like object at the other, which then came into contact with an overhead wire, causing a short circuit. The wire broke and fell on the bogie of a train, halting operations at the station.
