MELBOURNE, Australia - Police in Australia say a 6-month-old baby has miraculously survived a train hitting his stroller that had rolled onto the tracks.

The train pushed the stroller about 130 feet along the tracks before it stopped.

Security video footage released Friday shows the mother looking away for a moment when the stroller suddenly rolls off the edge of a station platform and onto the tracks.

The mother panics as she looks back and sees the oncoming train hit the stroller, but the baby boy survived with only minor injuries.

Victoria state Police Sergeant Michael Ferwerda called Thursday's incident a "lucky escape" and said people should be cautious in train stations.

I'm shocked, it's truly a miracle that the baby lived.

I'll agree it's pretty lucky that the kid survived, or a miracle...

I really wanted to punch the reporter in the face HARD

I'm glad the baby survived, there have been so many incidents in the past where it hasn't been the case.

Well it is a train.

=P

Anyhoo, yes this was pretty fortunate. Its gotten a fair bit of air-time here, if simply because something is actually happening at all.

Always hold on to the stroller is what I would think. And then the one time you forget to do that, something like this happens. That baby is one lucky baby. They should change his name to Lucky Luke.

Cool kid. I myself got launched out of a bus when I was 6 months old and was pretty lucky to get only a bruise. This kid's way more lucky, though.

Why is it surprising that the train survived after hitting a baby?

Luckily the baby was strapped to the stroller, otherwise the train might have been hurt
