Viral video captures tense moments at Vasai Road station
The viral video shows the man perched on the metal grilles outside one train at Vasai Road station as another train slowly approaches on the adjacent track.

The person recording the incident can be heard warning him that the train is coming and urging him to move to safety.
Despite the repeated warnings, the man remains perched on the grilles as the train passes dangerously close to him.
