A 28-year-old British man fell onto the rails at the Borisovo metro station Tuesday, escaping in time to avoid being hit by a metro train.
Police said the London native was intoxicated and fell down as a result of carelessness, Interfax reported.
A quick-thinking witness of the accident was able to help the man, who received a concussion and fractured his tibia, without having the electric third rail de-activated or stopping metro train traffic.
The man's name and occupation were not released by police, but they did say he owns an apartment in Moscow.
