A video of a train passenger in India has gone viral as it shows him moving across the train like Spider-Man amid the severe conditions of the train.

In the video, a young male passenger in on an Indian train takes the support of the ceiling of to move across the crowded train to reach the toilet.

The passenger skilfully traverses through rows of tightly packed seats, all while maintaining his balance with impressive acrobatics, India Today reported.

The video was posted on Instagram by a user named Abhinav Parihar.

Along the way, the agile man encounters both ticketed and non-ticketed passengers alike, who seem unfazed by his incredible feat.

The man’s movements reminded people of Spider-Man.

While some found the incident to be hilarious, some highlighted the challenges faced by commuters when travelling during peak hours which was perfectly captured in the video.

It is common in India to see congested trains where one can't even find a path to walk.

This is not the first time a passenger found it impossible to reach the train lavatory.

Previously, in June 2023, another video went viral which showed a similar feat where a man was seen reaching the toilet while pulling off a stunt.
