Moment train thunders over father shielding baby who fell on to tracks

Dramatic footage shows the moment that a father shielded his child and himself underneath a moving train in Bangladesh after the infant fell on the tracks. Video circulated on social media shows the parent clutching onto their child as they lay on the tracks whilst the train thundered past them. Local media reported that as the father, who was holding his child, attempted to disembark the train, the infant fell out of his hands and landed on the tracks below. He then held the child in his arms and pressed himself onto the wall as the train. Both escaped unharmed after eight carriages passed over them, local media reported.
