The man, believed to be Russian, can be seen stumbling towards the active tracks as the bright lights of the passenger train appear in the distance.
As the man approaches he suddenly stops before balancing on one leg as the train continues to hurtle towards him.
Seconds later, he falls forwards and collapses head first onto the line.
It is unclear what made the man fall to the ground with it believed to have been a sweltering 30C in Derbent, Russia, at the time.

Russian navy parade cancelled for 'security reasons'
Russia has said a major annual navy parade had been cancelled for "security reasons", without specifying the threat or concern. "It has to do with the general situation. Security reasons are of utmost importance," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, quoted by Russian news agencies. The parade was meant to be the highlight of Russia's Navy Day, which falls on the last Sunday of July each year and honours the country's sailors. But local authorities in the coastal city of Saint Petersburg, where the warships and submarines were scheduled to pass, said on Friday the parade had been cancelled without giving a reason. Russian President Vladimir Putin - who re-established Navy Day in 2017, nearly four decades after it was cancelled in Soviet times - did not show up in person this year for the first time. Instead, he appeared in a video message hailing the "bravery" and "heroism" of Russia's sailors participating in the offensive in Ukraine. Russia, which launched its military operation on Ukraine in February 2022 with daily bombardments of its neighbour, has faced retaliatory Ukrainian drone strikes on its territory in recent months. The Russian defence ministry said that 100 Ukrainian drones were downed overnight. At least 10 of them were intercepted not far from Saint Petersburg and a woman was wounded, the governor for the northwestern Leningrad region, Aleksandr Drozdenko, said on Telegram. That drone assault also disrupted operations at Saint Petersburg's Pulkovo airport, delaying dozens of flights, the facility's authorities said.

Trump posts OJ Simpson meme of him and 'fat face' JD Vance as cops chasing Obama
Donald Trump has been accused of trying to deflect from his ties to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein by posting a bizarre meme of him and "fat face JD Vance" chasing Barack Obama in police cars. Trump shared a photoshopped version of an image from the infamous O.J Simpson high-speed pursuit, which brought Los Angeles to a standstill in 1994 as the former NFL star and his pal led cops on a two-hour chase across Southern California in a white Ford Bronco. The US president posted the odd photo - which also included Vice President JD Vance with a bloated face, a meme dubbed "fat face JD Vance" which went viral earlier this year - with no context or caption. It comes after Trump - rocked by claims that he sent a handwritten birthday message to disgraced financier Epstein - bizarrely accused former president Obama of "treason", claiming he plotted to sabotage his first presidency by linking him to alleged Russian election meddling. Trump claimed Obama had sought to undermine his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton as he faced questions from reporters about the late well-connected sex offender Epstein, who killed himself in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial. The image shared by President Donald Trump (Image: @realDonaldTrump/X) The president's administration has been under pressure to release more information about his contact list, but Trump snapped: "The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold. It's time to go after people, Obama's been caught directly. He's guilty. This was treason. This was every word you can think of." However, social media users said Trump - currently in the UK as he visits his golf clubs in Scotland - was desperately trying to distract from his links to the dead paedophile. Republicans against Trump tweeted: "Trump just posted a meme photo of him and JD Vance chasing down Obama in police cars. Anything to distract from Jeffrey Epstein. Bold choice by Trump to go with that JD Vance face." The image of JD Vance used in the photograph (Image: @realDonaldTrump/X) One social media user replied: "A President who makes a mockery of the office and this country." Another said: "Trump's meme game is as weak as his loyalty to allies, but at least he's consistent in dodging accountability." A third said: "Trump would sell his own grandma if it meant he could distract from the Epstein thing." Another person added: "Meanwhile the rest of us realize how deep the Epstein scandal goes." An image of the infamous police chase involving OJ Simpson (Image: Getty Images) It was previously reported how social media wags had edited photos of Vance with a face full of baby fat, calling him 'childish' and an 'annoying' man-child after a car-crash press conference in which he rudely cut off Ukraine's wartime leader Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump's bizarre choice of photo to edit also raised eyebrows as it depicted police cruisers following a white Ford Bronco driven by A.C. Cowlings on a Los Angeles freeway in 1994. O.J. Simpson was in the back of the vehicle, reportedly holding a gun to his own head and threatening suicide following an investigation into the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
