Narrow escape for mother and son caught between platform and rushing train in Kalaburagi
Kalaburagi: A woman and her son, who were crossing a railway track to reach a platform, had a hair breadth’s escape from a speeding train as they huddled up close to the wall of the railway platform.
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening and a video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the mother and child hugging each other in sheer fear for life.
The duo was crossing the railway track between platforms one and three of the city railway station, when a goods train came down the track. Since the mother was ahead of him, the boy is seen in the video rushing towards her, apparently as the mother was in danger of being overrun by the train.
The mother and the son did not have time to climb up the platform for safety and sat by the wall, waiting with bated breath for the rushing train to pass.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
