Teenager lies under train in YouTube stunt

Video footage of a teenager lying face down on a railway track as a speeding train passes a few inches above him has been posted on the internet. The Telegraph reports.

"The video, which appeared on the YouTube website, shows the boy picking himself up after the train has passed and waving his legs in the air to show that he has not been injured.

It is not known where the footage, which is believed to have been captured on a mobile phone, was filmed.

British Transport Police have given warning that anyone in Britain caught performing such a stunt would face prosecution."
