Late on Thursday a 15-year-old boy died after he slipped and fell under a train in Woodstock.

It is alleged that the boy climbed the train while it was moving and he slipped and died immediately.

Western Cape Regional Manager of Metrorail Mthuthuzeli Swartz said this was an unnecessary death of a young man. 

Swartz said we are calling upon all our commuters to observe the safety rule that you do not get on the train while it is in motion and you do not get off while the train is leaving the station.
