A 32-year-old man has lost an arm and a foot after climbing on to a moving bulk freight train in Western Australia.
He was with his brother, 34, and the pair are believed to have been intoxicated when he fell between a break in the carriages about 7.30pm on Saturday.
The train was passing through Brookvale in Perth when he fell and the train severed his arm and foot.
Imagery of his rescue was shared by the local police force to Twitter, alongside a warning message to others trying to use the train as a shortcut across the tracks.
‘A lucky outcome for what could have been potentially deadly,’ they wrote.
‘A reminder why we wait for trains to pass before attempting to cross.’
The other brother made his way across the carriage and to the other side of the track without injury
