In a show of courage and great presence of mind, two Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel saved a passenger’s life when he slipped while boarding a moving train in Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur.

A video of the incident has gone viral, showing a young man who slipped while trying to hop on a train. He was dragged to some distance when RPF Head Constable Arendra Kumar, with one of his colleagues present on the platform, rushed to his help.

The personnel ran a fair distance along with the moving train in order to save the young man, who had fallen on his face inside the train with his legs dangling outside.

No immediate information about the present condition of the passengers was available.

The entire incident was captured by the CCTV cameras installed on the platform. The video is going viral on social media.
