A Railway Protection Force (RPF) jawan saved a man from being run over by a speeding express train at the Thane station on Wednesday. Anil Kumar, an RPF jawan, saw a man trying to cross the tracks in a confused way between platform numbers 6 and 7 around 10.30 pm on Wednesday, a railway official said.
At the same time, train no 18029 (Shalimar-Kurla Express) was arriving on platform no 7 and the driver was blowing the horn. The man seemed to have lost his bearings when Kumar jumped down and pulled him out of harm's way.
