This is the dramatic moment a passenger was dragged for 50 metres between a moving train and platform before railway police and fellow travellers rushed to his rescue.

The commuter was boarding the Sabarmati Express at Agra Cantt Railway Station in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, when his foot became trapped between the train and platform.

The man in a blue button-down shirt attempted to board the arriving train at around 9:35 p.m. local time on September 8.

However, he lost his footing and had one foot slip onto the ground.

CCTV footage shows the train travelling along the platform, dragging the helpless passenger towards the tracks as he struggles to free himself.

Moments later, members of the Government Railway Police’s Quick Response Team stationed nearby and fellow passengers ran towards him.

The rescuers can be seen grabbing hold of the passenger in a desperate attempt to pull him away from the gap.
GRP inspector Sandeep Tomar said the passenger’s life was saved by the alertness and courage of the police personnel and other passengers who immediately responded to the incident.
