A baby in India is lucky to be alive after her family jumped off a train, dropping her onto the tracks and underneath the moving locomotive.

A man identified as Sonu, his wife and two children, had boarded the 11:30 a.m. Samata Express on Tuesday en route to Jhansi. But according to local sources, the family felt forced to get off the train as it began to depart because a purse had gone missing.

Sonu and his older child were first to disembark the moving train. Panic struck moments later when his one-year-old daughter, Saheeba, slipped out of her mother’s arms when she returned to the platform.
