Police have released a heart-stopping compilation of near misses by train track trespassers – which includes a man being paralysed after taking a short cut.
The powerful images have been used as a warning to young people as figures show trespass is on the rise.
In the most shocking clip, a man wearing a black jacket over a grey hoodie with the hood pulled over his head is caught on camera walking at the side of the tracks at a station.
He looks behind him and appears to spot the danger coming, so as the train screeches past he pulls himself up against the platform edge.
But unfortunately the man is unable to escape on time and is dragged under leaving him paralysed from the waist down.
