A German man who mooned at a train got his trousers caught in a carriage door and ended up being dragged half naked out of the station.
The 22-year-old journalism student shoved his backside against the window of a low-slung double-decker train after staff forced him off in Lauenbrueck for travelling without a ticket.
A police spokesman in the northern city of Bremen said: "It's a miracle he wasn't badly hurt. This sort of thing can end up killing you."
The man somehow managed to keep his legs from the train wheels as he was dragged along, dangling by his trousers, for about 200 metres, reports Metro.
His ordeal ended when a passenger pulled the emergency brake. Rescues services were called in, causing rail services between Bremen and Hamburg to be suspended for over an hour, delaying 23 trains.
The man - unharmed except for cuts and bruises - now faces charges of dangerous interference in rail transport, insulting the train staff, and may face sizeable a compensation claim for the delays he caused.
"He was full of remorse when I talked to him," the police spokesman added. "And he advised others not to try the same thing."
