UP youth hit by stone in train, suffers fracture

Lucknow, Feb 11 : In a freak accident, a 22-year-old man fractured his leg after a stone hit him while he was travelling in the Marudhar Express train.
The incident took place a few minutes after the train left from Bharatpur Junction in Rajasthan on Wednesday evening.
The youth, Satendra Kumar, was hit by a stone and was seen bleeding from his right leg. The co-passengers gave him first aid.
An hour later, when the train reached Agra station, he was attended by a medical team who later shifted him to SN Medical College.
“I was returning from the train lavatory when a stone hit my leg near the entrance door of the coach. I lost a lot of blood due to the delay in medical aid. After X-ray, the doctors at SNMC confirmed that I have suffered a fracture in my leg,” Satendra told reporters.
Satendra, a carpenter by profession, was heading to his hometown Hamirpur to attend his friend’s wedding.
