Shocking CCTV footage has emerged online showing a man forcefully pushing a woman off a train platform into the path of an oncoming train. 

The footage recorded in Brussels shows a man sneaking up behind a woman, who was waiting for her train to arrive before he shoved her onto the train tracks, falling face first. 

An oncoming train came to a halt only missing the woman by meters.

Police told Breaking911 the suspect was a 23-year-old who was arrested on charges of attempted manslaughter. 

It's unclear whether the 55-year-old woman suffered serious injuries.
