WATCH: Pregnant woman falls under subway train

A pregnant Beijing woman is lucky to be alive after falling onto the subway tracks during rush hour yesterday.

The woman who fainted and fell onto the tracks left passengers watching the scene in a state of shock.

As the train approached the driver saw the woman and slammed on the emergency brakes.

She managed to crouch down and was only caught under the train momentarily before crawling out with minor injuries, according to People’s Daily Online.

Subway workers switched off the power and the woman was taken to hospital so that her unborn baby could be observed.
