An incident in a subway station in Moscow could have been deadly, but fortunately it just ended in a big scare.

A senior gets his leg stuck in the train doors and he struggles to free himself as the train leaves. The Mirror documents that incident has been caught by CCTV cameras at the Pyatnitskoye station in Russia's capital city.

The man in the clip is 78 years old. He gets off then, appearing to be disoriented, he attempts to get back on the train. The doors are almost closed and his leg gets wedged in between them.

He tries to signal the conductor but the train departs from the station, quickly picking up speed. A change in the camera angle shows that he safely breaks free – he is left on all fours on the platform.
