Horror moment woman gets her leg trapped in train door (Video)

TSB NEWS reports the horrifying moment a woman’s leg became trapped in the door of a train before she was dragged down the length of the platform.

The woman, aged in her 20s, was leaving the last door of the last carriage of the Moscow-Pushkino electric train at Yaroslavsky railway station on April 18 when the doors jammed shut on her left leg.

Footage shows the woman realising she is trapped and hitting the doors in a bid to try and get them to open.

But they are unable to free her and as the train starts moving off one of the men who is trying to help ends up being dragged and falls over the woman.

The trapped woman is helplessly pulled along the platform as other onlookers try and get the attention of someone who can stop the train.

Footage cuts out before the woman gets her leg out of the train and she was later found on the tracks by emergency services.

She was taken to hospital and is being treated for injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening.

Investigators are checking how the train was allowed to leave the station without ensuring that everyone had safely got off.
