A man survived after hooking this Saturday, August 9, outside an Austrian train on Saturday, August 9, where he could travel after an emergency stop, the Austrian national railway company ÖBB said on Sunday.
The man had abandoned the train to take a cigarette on the dock when he went to Sankt Pölten, west of Vienna, said Herbert Herbert spokesman for AFP.
The railway train, which linked Zurich with the Austrian capital, left Sankt Pölten at that time, but arrived in Vienna seven minutes late, said Herbert Hofer.
The committed emergency brake
Citing a passenger on board, the Austrian tabloid Heute reported that the man, who had descended to smoking on the dock, jumped to space between two cars after the train began to restart.
“It’s irresponsible, this kind of thing generally ends up causing someone’s death,” said Herbert Hofer.
The man, a 24 -year -old Algerian, hit the windows to attract attention, according to Heute, who took the train driver to activate the emergency brake. Then, train staff was able to raise it on board.
The reckless passenger was taken by the police after the train arrived at the Meidling station in Vienna, Heute said.
In January, a 40 -year -old Hungarian survived after hanging on a high -speed German train for 32 kilometers, also after he started during his cigarette vacation.
