Men play-fighting on Tube platform fall on to tracks seconds before train in alarming video footage

Pair captured on video wrestling on platform at Green Park before falling onto tracks

Footage has emerged of the moment two men who fell into the path of an oncoming train were pulled from the tracks by other passengers.

The pair are reported to have been “extremely drunk” and wrestling on the Victoria Line platform at Green Park station in London.

In the clip, the men can be seen falling off the platform as the train pulls into the station towards them.

Onlookers manage to grab the two men, identified as Boguslaw Rybski, 34, and Przemyslaw Zawisza, 26, to pull them to safety.

The Londoners who rescued the men have been praised as heroes for their quick thinking.

Police said the incident took place shortly after 1.30am on 1 April and that the men had been charged with with endangering the safety of a person conveyed by railway.

“Boguslaw Rybski, aged 34 and of Aboyne Drive, Wimbledon and Przemyslaw Zawisza, aged 26 of Park Lane Tottenham, were both charged with endangering the safety of a person conveyed by railway,” the police said.

“They were bailed to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ on 19 April.”

Witnesses said the pair appeared to be drunk and were play-fighting near the edge of the platform before slipping onto the tracks.

Transport for London’s director of transport policing, Steve Burton, said: “This behaviour was extremely dangerous and not only put the lives of the men involved at risk, but others on the platform who tried to help.

“These reckless actions will not be tolerated and the police will take the appropriate action.”
