This is the terrifying moment a train moved off while an Indian railway worker was still beneath it repairing a fault.

The incident occurred near Howrah Station in Kolkata last Friday (November 9).

A video filmed by another railway worker shows a guard crouched beneath the train between the tracks fixing the brake system when suddenly the train starts to move.

The filmer runs next to the track shouting for passengers to halt the train by pulling the emergency alarm.

When they don't appear to hear him, he starts to scream in desperation.

Eventually - after an agonisingly long time - the train does come to a halt and the guard emerges unharmed.

He immediately gets on the radio, presumably to give the driver a piece of his mind.

Shocking videos shows the Train Guard providential escape as the train started moving while he was attending to a glitch in the air pipe between two compartments under the rake.

The train reportedly stopped shortly after it left Howrah station, owing to possible chain pulling and the guard went to inspect the situation.

On finding that the air pressure in the brake system had dropped, he started mending it, when the train started moving again with the hapless guard holding on to the pipe, as shown in a video clip shot by a bystander.

"It is possibly a case of miscommunication between the driver of the train guard said onlookers.
The train was made to halt by RPF personnel alerting passengers to pull the chain, and the guard escaped unhurt,
