YouTube user Ricardo Moraes has uploaded a clip of a young girl escaping death at the last possible instant, after falling off the tracks in a subway station.

Judging by the video title, the incident took place in the Corinthians-Itaquera subway station, which is located in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

You can see someone scrambling to pull out and focus what is probably a camera phone, which is then directed towards a girl who is trying to get off the train tracks.

Before being hit by the incoming train, the girl is lifted off the tracks by two men, one of whom appeared to be a security guard at the station.

However, I believe it is safe to say that whoever caught this on video did not think that they would have time to rescue her.
