Originally reported Gothamist, the now-viral video above shows an intoxicated man lying on subway tracks screaming and flailing around. As the terrifying story progresses, and his friends are not able to coax him back onto the platform, the A train comes rolling in. The man reportedly survives the incident, proving that in certain instances, it is possible to lie in the middle of the track to avoid being touched by the train.
Although it’s not known for certain, Gothamist believes the situation unfolded at New York’s 175th Street station.
