This is the moment a cop risks his own life to save a passenger hanging from a train’s door. <br /><br />The cop grabs the man but loses balance and falls down. Other passengers on the platform rush to pull both of them to safety. <br /><br />The incident occurred at Panvel in Mumbai, India, on July 14. <br /><br />A Mumbai resident, Ravi Balu, 25, tried to catch the Panvel-Nanded Express, which had begun to move. <br /><br />Due to his heavy backpack, he failed to get into the running train. Balu lost his balance and managed to grab the door handle. <br /><br />The train sped away dragging Balu along, who hung on precariously, desperately avoiding slipping into the gap between the platform and the tracks.<br /><br />A Railway Police Constable Vinod Shinde, who was on duty, saw the unfolding mishap and rushed to help Balu. <br /><br />A few passengers, who had Spotted Balu ahead of Shinde, didn’t dare to help him as the train’s momentum could have dragged them also underneath. <br /><br />But ignoring his own safety, Shinde grabbed Balu and fell down along with him. A few alert passengers rushed to pull both of them to safety. <br /><br />Sunil Udasi, PRO, Central Railways told reporters: “The train could have dragged Shinde as well and crushed him. He risked his own life to save the passenger.” <br /><br />The Railway police took the lucky but shocked passenger to their office and cautioned him not to take such risks in future.
