British Transport Police appealed for help today to trace a youth who was seen swinging from overhead power cables by train passengers.
The death-defying stunt happened near a footbridge over the West Coast Main Line in the Bolehall area of Tamworth, Staffordshire, about half a mile south of the town's railway station.
"The overhead cables carry 25,000 volts and, although the overheads had been switched off to deal with another incident closer to the station, a residual current of at least 5,000 volts would have still been running through the cables.
"Both he, and the other young person watching from the bridge, could have been seriously injured, electrocuted and even killed.
