A terrifying moment when a man's finger got stuck between doors of a moving train was captured by an onlooker in China. The incident happened on Monday in Jiangsu province, reported People's Daily China. In the video, as the train starts moving, the man is forced to run along with his finger still stuck between the doors. Other commuters on the platform are seen trying to help the man by gesturing the driver to stop the train. Railway staff said he boarded the wrong train and while rushing out, his finger was caught between the doors.
The passenger eventually managed to pull his finger out of the door without any injuries.

Social media was horrified to see the man's ordeal. Many suggested that the train should have a mechanism for accidents like these.
"The train should have an alert system that the train shouldn't move if any of the doors is not fully closed," wrote Da su on Facebook.
"He's lucky he was able to get his finger about before he suffered serious injury," wrote Aaron Barton.
"Both the train safety system and the passenger shall be blamed," said William Chan.
"There's an emergency stop lever inside the cabin. Someone from the inside could've pulled it," suggested Waleed Uddin.Click for more
