This is the shocking moment two men who fall into the path of an oncoming Tube during a play fight narrowly avoid death after being pulled from the tracks.

Heart-stopping footage shows the pair wrestling on a platform at Green Park station before they tumble onto the tracks as a train pulls in.

Panicked onlookers can be heard saying “oh my god, get out” as the two men fall off the platform’s edge as the Victoria line Tube train screeches into the station on April 1.

The pair look certain to be struck by the Tube but quick-thinking Londoners manage to grab both men and pull them to safety just in time.

Witnesses described how the two men appeared to be “really drunk” and were screaming and singing on the platform before losing balance.

A cheerleading coach, known only as Autumn, who filmed the incident told Uni Lad: “They were play fighting and scaring each other by pushing near the edge, but they were so drunk. They lost balance and fell in, and then they got saved.”

She added: “When they came out they were just holding onto each other, I guess they thought they were going to die.”

Two men have been charged with endangering the safety of a person conveyed by the railway following the incident.

Boguslaw Rybski, 34, of Aboyne Drive, Wimbledon, and Przemyslaw Zawisza, 26, of Park Lane, Tottenham, were both bailed to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ on 19 April.

Steve Burton, TfL’s director transport policing 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.”
