In a wild turn of events, the young man was at St. Poelten, a station about 64 km from Vienna, when it was time for a cigarette break. Unfortunately, he didn’t realize that the train had started to leave without him. Not wanting to let go of his journey, he climbed onto the narrow space between two carriages and began banging on the windows to get the attention of passengers and crew. Eventually, the train conductor made an emergency stop to let him back on board, but an argument ensued. Local reports indicate that he was arrested for his reckless behavior.

A train spokesman remarked on the seriousness of such stunts, saying they could lead to fatal accidents. This isn't an isolated incident; a similar case happened in Germany earlier this year, where a fare-dodger clung to the outside of a train to avoid losing his luggage. Remember, folks—cigarette breaks shouldn't turn into high-speed rides!
