Mooning German gets trousers caught in moving train

A German man mooning at railway staff in a departing train got his trousers caught in a carriage door and ended up being dragged half naked along the platform, out of the station and onto the tracks. The 22-year-old journalism student shoved his backside against the window of a low-slung double-decker train when staff forced him off in Lauenbrueck for travelling without a ticket, a spokesman for police in the northern city of Bremen said.
"It's a miracle he wasn't badly hurt," the spokesman said on Monday. "This sort of thing can end up killing you."
Instead, dangling by his trousers, the man got pulled along for about 200 metres, all the while managing to keep his legs away from the wheels of the train.
The ordeal ended when a passenger pulled the emergency brake. Rescue services were called in, causing rail services between Bremen and Hamburg to be suspended for over an hour, delaying 23 trains.
The man – unharmed except for cuts and bruises – now faces charges of dangerous interference in rail transport, insulting the train staff, and may face sizeable a compensation claim for the delays he caused, police said.
"He was full of remorse when I talked to him," the spokesman said. "And he advised others not to try the same thing."

"It's a miracle he wasn't badly hurt," the spokesman said on Monday. "This sort of thing can end up killing you." Dammit. The spokesman missed a golden opportunity to invoke the classic punch line: "Rectum? Damn near killed him."

shoved his backside against the window
In my younger single days I ran with a wacky guy/gal crowd, and we were all invited to a wedding with reception at a golf club.
Big mistake on the inviter's part.....during the reception, all of us stepped out onto the porch, dropped trou and backed up firmly against the floor to ceiling glass window, presenting the newly wedded couple with a "Pressed Ham".

Gee I guess this might explain what happened to Journalism since he is a study of said subject! Wonder how long it took him to figure out that this was a very bad idea?

Sounds like Reuters or AP material to me.
