Associated Press news agency reports today of a miraculous survival in Switzerland.

Swiss police say a baby suffered little more than a bump after being blown onto railway tracks and being run over by a train.

The incident happened Wednesday in the northeastern Swiss town of Moehlin, close to the German border.

Police say the six-month-old was in a buggy when a strong gust of wind blew it off a platform and into the path of an oncoming train.

Luckily the infant fell between the rails. Rescuers heard the baby’s cries and found it lying beneath the train, virtually unharmed.

The child and its mother were taken to hospital and treated for shock before being released.

“There wasn’t much left of the buggy,” said Bernhard Graser of the Aargau cantonal police.
