Train Climbing Passenger Zapped By High Voltage Lines

This is the moment a young man is filmed climbing the top of a stopped train before receiving an electric shock when he accidentally touches the high-voltage overhead wires.

The man identified only as Mr Wu by local media had run out of the train when it stopped at Xinwuri railway station in Taiwan’s western city of Taichung on 3rd February.

He had allegedly been harassing passengers inside carriage 5 of the northbound train before sprinting out onto the platform and climbing the outside of the vestibule above car 7, the authorities said.
