Juan Carlos Tello (28) fell asleep on a train track in Lima, Peru, drunk on the night of the 8th (local time), according to The Sun and other foreign media.
CCTV footage from the time showed that as the freight train passed through the track, the startled Tello rose up and collided with the lower part of the locomotive.
This caused him to fall sideways and his leg became stuck in the locomotive. After a few turns, he managed to get off the track.
Fortunately, the train driver found him lying on the track and made a sudden brake to save his life.
When pedestrians who witnessed this rushed to ask about his condition, Tello complained of pain and suffered.
Fortunately, he reportedly suffered only minor injuries to his arm.
`I fell asleep while walking along the train tracks under the influence of alcohol, and I didn't feel the train coming,' he said.
The police said it was a miracle that they survived after being hit by the train.
Meanwhile, the train tracks he was lying on were next to the sidewalk, but no fence was installed.
In August last year, a man who was crossing the same track was struck and killed by a freight train.
