Really sad case this, led to believe that he was chasing the mop who then ran onto the railway at Bullpit Lane level crossing.The police officer got hit by a passing express train, the mop climbed an OHLE mast and was lucky to survive after being electrocuted.

I aware that in many instances of initial trespass on the railway they usually get the British Transport Police to assist as they are PTS inducted. A shame that this never happened.

RIP SGT, railways always have been a very dangerous place, Respect to that officer, who will not have been trained to work safely in that environment, he no doubt rolled up ,saw a person who was in mental crisis and tried his best to get them to safety!
