Watch | Railway staff rushes to save man from getting crushed under moving train

A Railway staff was caught on camera rushing to save a man lying on the railway track just seconds before an oncoming train came speeding by. A video of the nail-biting incident was shared by the ministry of Railways on Twitter.

In the 24-second CCTV footage from a railway station, railway staff H Satish Kumar can be seen walking towards the platform to give the green flag to an upcoming goods train, when he suddenly turns away and runs hastily to save a man lying on the track.

He quickly picks up the man lying there and takes him to the other side of the track. Seconds later a train runs past them. Several passersby were seen walking to the edge of the platform to witness the act.
