The suspect managed to flee, but was later arrested by police

A man was arrested on Monday for driving his car, a Mahindra Thar, on a railway track in Jaipur in Rajasthan. The man, who was reportedly in an intoxicated state, had taken to the track in his SUV to shoot a reel.

However, his car got stuck when he tried to remove it from the tracks after seeing a freight train coming towards him.

The locomotive pilot was able to stop the train in time and no one was injured in the incident.

In a video that has gone viral on social media platforms, the suspect can be seen trying to remove the vehicle from the tracks while some people and police officials stand next to the car.

According to reports, some people also helped him pull his car out, after which he quickly reversed it about 20 to 30 meters to get it back on the road and fled.

He also allegedly hit three people while trying to flee.

Police then chased the car and arrested him. His vehicle was also seized.

This isn’t the first time people have shot at railroad tracks with a reel.

Several people across the country have been killed or seriously injured after being hit by a train while filming videos.
