  1. His movement tells us it was planned ahead, his target might ve been random.

    This might just be filmed as a trophy.

  2. Add to that the risk of electrocution.

    The guy can’t be right in his head walking in T-shirt mid January.

    Hope the best for the victims.

  3. Hope he gets trialled for attempted murder. But this is Belgium so he will get a slap on the wrist, suspended sentence and maybe 2 hours of community service.

  4. This is gonna sound silly but: ever since i saw a similar video years ago, i always stand at a safe distance from the tracks + keep my back in check or have my back against something wigh my weight tilted backwards.
    I’m always aware of the possibility of some idiot pushing me on the rails for some reason.

  5. Literal attempted murder holy shit.

    >In het metrostation Rogier in Brussel heeft een jongeman gisteravond rond 19.45 uur opzettelijk een vrouw op de sporen geduwd. Een metrotrein kon net op tijd een noodstop maken. De dader sloeg op de vlucht, maar kon snel worden opgepakt. Volgens het parket gaat het om een poging tot doodslag.

    They caught him tho

  6. Did they catch the guy?

    UPDATE: According to the VRT NWS it’s a 23 year old French guy who the police in France apparently already heard of before.

  7. Some platforms in Paris have barriers on the side of the tracks, that only open when the metro is on the platform.

    I *really* want them to install that now.

  8. I love everyone’s reactions and the way this terrible act was handled. There’s two guys immediately jumping down to help the woman and others are immediately going after the asshole.

    There’s people here minimising the train driver’s merits because the train was already slowing down, but still he reacted very quickly and did exactly the right thing.

    In mean obviously this will still be a very traumatising experience, especially for the lady who got pushed and for the driver as well, but this could have turned out so much worse:

    “Woman dies after being pushed under metro that couldn’t stop in time, police are looking for the culprit who is still at large, no security footage available because camera’s didn’t work”.

  9. Someone right after runs towards him and punches him in the face. All my respect to that guy to at least stop the murderer. Hope this action makes and end to his life. What a waste of human.

  10. Why is the criminal only charged with **manslaughter** and not **murder**. The way he sneaks up to her could be seens as premeditated.

    Either way, what’s the **max jailtime** he can get for manslaughter?

    I hope this asshole gets life in prison without parole. This is just insane.

  11. I hope the lady is oke, that was a pretty hard fall she did damn. I hope they lynch that guy when he gets released early, no merci for people like that.
