Man run over by train unhurt

MELBOURNE, Feb 1 AAP
A 47-year-old man run over by a train had a miraculous escape in Melbourne
today.
The man was lying on the tracks near the Balaclava railway station in
Melbourne's southeastern suburbs, about 12.30am when the outbound train
entered the station.
Police said the train driver saw the man on the track but was unable to stop
the train in time as the engine and carriages passed over him.
The man was taken by ambulance to Alfred Hospital but was later released
with no serious injuries.
Police are unsure what the man was doing lying on the tracks.
