The man clings to a high -speed train in Austria after leaving the station without him, say the managers
A man survived after hooking outside a high-speed train in Austria on Saturday, would have been left while he was taking a cigarette break.
The man, who was not identified, caught outside the train as he left the station in Sankt Poelten, west of Vienna, told AFP railway spokesperson.
“It’s irresponsible, this kind of thing is usually found with someone who dies,” he said. “And you are not content to put yourself in danger, if you find yourself under the train, there are rescuers, there are police, firefighters who come.”
Hofer said the passenger was then taken on board when the train made an emergency stop.
The railroad train was on the way to Zurich, Switzerland, the Austrian capital and left Sankt Poelten in time but arrived in Vienna with a delay of 7 minutes, Hofer said.
Quoting a passenger on board, the Austrian tabloid Heute said that the man had jumped into space between two cars after the start of the train from a stop scheduled for Sankt Poelten.
The man had taken advantage of being at a station to smoke a cigarette on the platform, according to Heute. After jumping on the train, he quickly started hitting the windows to attract attention, said Heute, which led to the driver of the train activating the emergency brake before the train crew takes the man on board.
“The conductor really made a very big hit on him,” the passenger told Heute.
The man is a 24 -year -old Algerian and was led by police after the train arrived at the Vienna Meidling station, Heute reported.
Hofer said he could not comment on the history of man before new surveys.
Similarly, in January, a 40 -year -old Hungarian survived a high -speed German train over 20 miles after he left a cigarette. The man told the police that he had left his luggage on the train during his cigarette break and did not want to part with it, reported the partner of CBS News BBC.
