A woman miraculously survived after falling asleep while stood on a subway station platform and tumbling under an oncoming train.
CCTV footage from the Prague underground on Monday appears to show the young commuter dozing on her feet, staggering towards the edge before falling forwards onto the tracks.
Luckily the woman landed in the groove between the rails, giving her enough room to avoid being hit by the undercarriage of the train that quickly pulled into the station.
Police spokeswoman Eva Kropacova said in a statement: "Miraculously the woman stood up, dusted her trousers and walked off."
She added that the woman refused both medical treatment and a breathalyser test, telling police she was "merely tired".
One bystander on the platform had tried to pull the woman back but missed by seconds, but a group of men were then on hand to help her out through the gap between the carriages.
