THIS extraordinary footage shows the moment a baby falls under a train - and miraculously survives.
The CCTV footage, released today, shows the youngster's brush with death in Melbourne, Australia.
It shows the boy's mother momentarily letting go of the buggy, which then rolls off the platform and on to the track - just as a train pulls into the platform.
The driver used the emergency brakes but the pushchair was still dragged about 60 yards along the rails.
