A peculiar incident unfolded at the Warwick Farm Railway Station outside of Sydney, Australia, as captured in a bizarre video that has been making rounds online. The footage, shared by Transport for NSW, shows a horse engaging in what officials are humorously referring to as a 'bit of horseplay.'
The surveillance footage reveals the horse adhering to proper etiquette by staying behind the yellow line as it energetically galloped up and down the train platform. The horse seemed to be in pursuit of an individual before making an unsuccessful attempt to board a train service.
Fortunately, the situation was swiftly resolved as the horse's owner intervened and safely escorted the animal back to its residence in a stable condition. Transport for NSW emphasized that no further action is being pursued, as the incident was deemed to be a case of harmless fun.
One of the amusing moments captured in the video shows a woman waiting for a train looking visibly surprised as the horse dashes past her on the platform. The horse even manages to keep pace with a train as it arrives at the station, showcasing an unexpected display of agility.
The footage concludes with a man guiding the horse away from the platform and onto a trailer parked in the station's lot. Transport for NSW humorously noted that the horse, adorned only in a rug, was engaging in some playful antics during its impromptu escapade.
Following the incident, transit security was promptly alerted, and trains in the vicinity were advised to operate at reduced speeds to ensure the safety of all passengers and the wandering horse.
