A man is lucky to be alive after falling backwards onto a railway line after he was hit on the head and electrocuted by a live wire in India.
CCTV footage captures the disturbing moment that the ticket inspector collapsed to the ground after talking to another man at the Kharagpur railway station in West Bengal.
Sparks could also be seen coming off his shoes as he crashed backwards and onto the railway line where fortunately there were no passing trains during the incident last Wednesday.
