Pictures of teenagers risking their lives by playing chicken on train tracks have surfaced online, prompting a police investigation.

According to the Mirror, the teens are seen jumping in front of the train and leaving the tracks just seconds before it hits them.

Three teens escape death as their group dares them to get in front of the moving train. Two others watch from the sideline as the pranksters risk their lives.

The photos were taken at Stoke Prior, Worcestershire. British Transport Police are searching for the identities of the teens.

“We’re aware of images posted online that appear to show youths trespassing on the railway line. Our inquiries are continuing. [...] People need to be aware of the danger and parents must speak to their children about it,” a spokesperson says.
