In an epic display of bravery, a RPF official rescued a man who fell while boarding a train in southern India’s Andhra Pradesh.

The incident took place at Eluru railway station of the eponymous city on June 12.

Visuals showed the man attempting to board a moving train when, unexpectedly, he stumbled and was dragged for a brief distance. Fortunately, an alert Railway Protection Force (RPF) officer stationed nearby swiftly rushed towards the man and managed to pull him away from the train, thus averting a potentially tragic accident and saving his life.

The act of bravery was done by Head Const. G. Srinivasu.
