An Aftrican man was moments from death after a German 'neo-Nazi' woman pushed him in front of a train
A 19-year-old African man was lucky to be alive after a woman claiming to be an "admirer" of Nazis pushed him in front of an oncoming train in Germany.

The attack happened on Sunday as the man from Angola was confronted by the "neo-Nazi" woman who allegedly called him a "s**t n****r".

The woman, with shaven head and wearing skinhead-style boots, then pushed the man off the platform of the station as a commuter train approached.

With just seconds to spare two witnesses helped pull the man to safety.

The engine driver slammed on the emergency brake but he admitted he would not have stopped in time.

Some 130 people have died in neo-Nazi violence across Germany since reunification.

The case was just one of several violent incidents on Berlin's public transport system over the weekend which included the stabbing of a bus driver who had tried to protect a Turkish woman who was being harassed by two men.

The woman, who said she is an "admirer" of the Nazis, was arrested by police as she waited for another train to depart at the station.
