This is the shocking moment a woman stumbles and falls backwards onto a tram line after being pushed away by a man she was fighting with.

The seven-second clip was captured by a bystander on the platform of the Chorlton Metrolink station, Manchester, on Wednesday night and shared on Facebook.

It shows the man appearing to be talking with another woman, when a younger woman runs at him and attacks him.

She manages to punch him several times in the face before he shoves her away sending her flying backwards onto the platform, where she rolls off onto the tram line.

Luckily, the line was clear and she managed to make it back onto the platform safely.

Several of comments have been left on the post, with some suggesting the attack on the man had been unprovoked, while others suggested that he may have learning difficulties.

It is not known if the woman required medical treatment following the incident.A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said the matter had not been reported to them.
