This is the harrowing moment that one shameless teen can be seen nudging his bike wheel at a woman running for a Dublin train causing her to fall underneath and onto the tracks.

Only for the quick-reaction of a worker at Howth Junction train station, this woman was only seconds from death all because of a careless prank.

And what's worse, she is the teen's second target after him and another boy try to carry out the same act on a blonde haired woman running just ahead of the fall victim.

The video from April shows the attacker in a red jacket throwing his body at the first runner who manages to avoid him.

She is then targeted by one of the boys with the bike who lifts up his wheel but doesn't make contact either.

This is followed by the black-haired victim who rushes to make the train but whose path is blocked by these two hooligans.

The first boy in red once again gestures his head towards the woman but she manages to dodge it.

However the boy behind him, who is pushing his bike along still, lifts up the wheel and nudges the woman with the front of it.

The slight contact makes the woman stumble and fall in between the platform and the train and onto the tracks.

Despite clearly putting the woman's life at risk and while slightly panicked at first, the duo walk on as if nothing happened.

A security guard at the junction is alerted about the incident by others on the platform and is able to stop the train from moving.
