CCTV footage of a youth "dicing with death" on the tracks of a railway station has been released by police.

The male trespasser is seen crossing the tracks at Sandal and Agbrigg station.

He stands on the track then jumps out of the way as a train brakes at the station near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, on Saturday 7 September at 19:00 BST.

PC Sam Bloomfield of British Transport Police said the youth was "reckless and completely irresponsible".

He added: "The person in the footage was dicing with death."

The driver of the Virgin East Coast service was not scheduled to stop at the station and was forced to apply the emergency brakes to avoid hitting the boy, said the force.

The man in the footage was wearing a red and blue T-shirt with white lettering and was with two other people.
