We hear of so many tragic or near-accidents involving children and public transport, but the details of this report are absolutely shocking.

 

A woman is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation after throwing her 11-year-old son in front of an oncoming train in Hamburg Station, Germany.

 

Bystanders were left horrified as they witnessed the woman, known only by the name Jana, pushing son Leon onto the tracks.

 

According to reports, the train driver was unable to avoid hitting the young boy, and his leg was crushed under the wheel.

 

 

It took 40 minutes for emergency services to free the child from the train. While he is not thought to have suffered life-threatening injuries, he is said to be in a severe condition in hospital.

 

Mother Jana reportedly attempted to flee the train station, but was apprehended by police. She is now undergoing a medical evaluation amid reports that she is suffering from a psychological condition.

 

This is a truly shocking story, and our hearts go out to Leon and the family. We are praying for his recovery at this time.
