According to Boksburg SAPS spokesperson Lieut Kwendzakwakhe Ngobese, the Katlehong man landed beneath a train travelling from Johannesburg to Springs, at the station.
Suspicious ticket examiners, who thought the man was travelling without a train ticket, approached him as he waited on the platform.
The man fled from the examiners, choosing to run over the railway tracks as a train came hurtling towards him.
Emergency services were called to the scene at about 7.30am, and found the deceased under the train.
Ngobese, who has not named the man, said an inquest docket has been registered to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the death.- @FanieFLK
