A disturbing video showing an unidentified man hosing down train passengers as they stand near open compartment doors has gone viral, sparking outrage online. The footage, shared on Reddit by user ‘Hour-Cantaloupe7099’, shows a man with a backpack detaching a water hose positioned between railway tracks. As a train passes by, he directs a continuous stream of water towards passengers, specifically targeting those standing near the entryways. The unsuspecting passengers are drenched as the man stands close to the moving train.
The exact location and date of the incident remain unclear, and the man’s identity has not been verified. In the video, other individuals can be seen on the tracks, seemingly far from the action. Many Reddit users expressed their anger over the incident, questioning the man’s motives and showing concern for the passengers’ safety. The comments highlighted a range of reactions, from frustration over the senseless waste of water to concerns about the lack of law enforcement presence. Some also remarked on the apparent lack of respect for others, with one commenter humorously noting, “Holi thoda advance me khel rahe hai.”
This incident follows a similar viral video showing railway staff in Lucknow spraying cold water on sleeping passengers during a cold wave in December 2024, which had also attracted significant backlash for its insensitivity.
