An 18-year-old tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train, after he was left unemployed amid the nationwide lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus. A Central Railway official said a special train was operating on Tuesday and the youth jumped in front of it near Dativli railway station, read a report in Mumbai Mirror.

He said when the Kasara-Panvel train slowed down at the Dativli curvature, Salman Anis Ahmed rushed to the tracks. The alert motorman applied the emergency brakes and stopped the train. However, until then, a portion of his left foot came under the wheels, severing off two toes.
