He clings to a quick train for Switzerland and survives

Going down smoking on the platform in an Austrian station, a 24 -year -old jumped in space between two wagons after his train to Zurich began to restart. He was finally arrested.

A man survived after hanging on Saturday evening outside an Austrian fast train in which he was able to ride after an emergency stop, the Austrian national railway company said on Sunday. The man had dropped from the train for a cigarette break on the quay when he left for Sankt Pölten, west of Vienna, said Öbb Herbert Hofer spokesperson.

The Railjet train, which linked Zurich to the Austrian capital, left Sankt Pölten at the time, but arrived in Vienna with seven minutes late, said Hofer. Citing a passenger on board, the Austrian tabloid Today reported that the man, who had come down to smoke on the platform, jumped into space between two cars after the train started to restart.

Police

The man, a 24 -year -old Algerian, hit the windows to attract attention, according to Heute, which led the driver of the train to activate the emergency brake. Then the train staff were able to raise it on board.

The reckless passenger was taken by police after the train arrived at Meidling station in Vienna, reported Today.

In January, a 40-year-old Hungarian survived after hanging on a German high-speed train for 32 km, also after he started during his cigarette break. (JZS/ATS)
