A train driver was forced to slam on the brakes after a man was found fast asleep – on the tracks.
The bizarre incident took place near the Mau Aimma railway crossing in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, on Wednesday (Aug 21).
The video shows a man – sheltered under an umbrella – asleep on the tracks, completely oblivious to the approaching train.
The train was en route to Pratapgarh when the sharp-eyed train driver spotted the man lying on the tracks from a distance.
The driver, who wasn’t named, immediately brought the train to a halt – preventing a potential tragedy.
According to reports, the man was woken up and guided off the tracks before the train could resume its journey.
