Railway Staff Saves Youth Who Climbed on Top of a Train’s Engine to Kill Self

The life of a little boy who attempted suicide by climbing onto the roof of a train engine was rescued thanks to prompt response by railway staff. The Ministry of Railways released a video of the rescue effort. The incident occurred at the Bihar railway station of Danapur. A railway employee crawls onto the train’s engine and throws a shawl at the boy in the 29-second video. A high-voltage electric wire is spotted near the engine’s roof. He drags the man down from the train’s engine’s roof. The young man collapses onto the platform and appears to be unconscious. The youth is then covered with a towel as people around say that he needs to be taken to the hospital. Here is the post by the Ministry of Railways.

“Indian Railway staff show that they are a shining example of humanity and responsibility! East Central Railway ticket-checking employees at Danapur station saved a young guy who had attempted suicide on the train by risking his own life and transported him to the hospital,” the tweet read, translated from Hindi.
