Peculiar excuse train surfer

A 16-year-old boy who was caught when he was riding on the back of a 130 kilometer train has a remarkable explanation.

The Belgian teenager was photographed by a passenger who rode between Halle and Enghien. It is a miracle that he has survived the ride, according to the Belgian railways, the NMBS.

The boy declared after his arrest: 'I had to be home from my mother in time and the train doors were already closed. That's why I went to hang on the locomotive. '
