A video showing a woman’s bag being snatched from a moving train is going all kinds of viral on social media. With similar narratives, several people are now sharing the video – especially on Twitter.
In the video, a few passengers, including the woman, are seen standing near the open door of a compartment in a train. Suddenly, a man jumps up on the moving train and snatches the woman’s bag. She tries to hold her bag but the man pulls it with such force, she gets dangerously close to the edge of the open door. Eventually, the man jerks the bag free from her hand and gets down while other passengers hold the woman back so she doesn’t fall off the train.
Take a look at the video:
The caption of the posts suggests that the incident took place aboard Indrayani Express from Pune to Mumbai. It also claims that it happened when the train was crossing the tunnel between Kalva and Thane. However, a tweet from the official account of Central Railway suggests that the incident took place somewhere else.
