Three women and a child had a miraculous escape after a train thundered past while they were trapped beside the tracks.

Nail-biting footage shows the freight train repeatedly clipping one of the women as it roared through the station.

At one point, she was nearly dragged away after taking a heavy blow while shielding her relatives.

A man could also be seen lying head-first over the platform edge, pressing the family tightly against the wall as the train sped by inches from them.

Remarkably, everyone was still alive and largely unharmed once the train had passed through the station on Friday (15 May).

Bystanders then spilt onto the tracks to help them to safety after the danger had passed.

The drama unfolded at Shahpur Patori railway station in Samastipur district, Bihar, India.

According to reports, six family members were travelling home to Rosera after attending a wedding in Jandaha, in Vaishali district.

They rushed across the unfenced tracks after learning their train was about to arrive at platform one, as reported by Need To Know.

Two of them managed to cross in time, but the freight train tore through the station before the other four could climb onto the platform.

Sonali Devi, Jayamala Devi, Mamta Devi and the child were later released after medical check-ups.

The woman hit by the train – believed to be the child’s mother – reportedly escaped with only minor injuries.
