A woman survived miraculously, but lost her legs after she was run over by a train at Mumbai's Belapur station this morning. The woman, who was travelling to Thane, missed a step when she was trying to get into the crowded train and fell on the tracks. The train was already in motion and one compartment ran over her.
After co-passengers and security personnel on the platform raised an alarm, the train started reversing. A video shot at the station shows the train reversing slowly as passengers lean to catch a glimpse of the woman. Cops are seen asking the passengers to maintain a safe distance. Eventually, the woman can be seen. Her feet are bloodied and she sits up with difficulty as policemen jump onto the tracks to help. Repots said she lost her legs.
