He then loses his balance and falls backwards onto the tracks as a train can be seen pulling into the station.

Other passengers signal for the driver to stop and locomotive comes to a halt as onlookers rush to help the man.

Local media report he had fallen after becoming dizzy and the dispatch team of a local subway station managed to quickly turn off the voltage on the rails.

The man was lifted back onto the platform before being taken to hospital, according to reports.

Despite the initial scare, the man does not have any serious injuries.

Netizen ‘Balsheker’ said: “He is so lucky. And look how everybody worked in sync: passengers, train driver, fabulous job!”

And ‘O_o’ added: “This train driver is amazing, he has great reactions.”

While ‘Ivan’ commented: “Look at that guy who jumped after that man. He was not afraid to jump down on the rails, but both of them could have been killed by high voltage? I wouldn’t have done the same, I guess.”
