Nail-biting footage shows brave commuter Oliver Matthews pulling the postman to safety as a train thunders into the station.

Tadeusz feared he was about to die as he lay on the track just inches from a live rail.

Shorsh later claimed he thought the 61-year-old had given him a “dirty look” and that he “deserved to be pushed”.

He has now been jailed for life with a minimum term of eight years and 49 days after he was convicted of attempted murder.

Inner London Crown Court heard the Kurdish migrant arrived in the UK in 2018 on the back of a lorry after being refused asylum in Germany.

Shorsh had been sleeping tough in train stations since around 2020 when he launched into the horror attack.

He racked up a “large number” of convictions for violence on Tube workers and British Transport Police officers.

Sentencing, Judge Benedict Kelleher said: “You said you did not care if he died, you had said the same thing in an interview following your arrest.

“For no other reason than you were feeling generally angry, and that you then wrongly perceived Mr Potoczek to have been looking at you, you made the spontaneous decision to try and take away his life.”

Tadeusz was rushing to catch a flight on February 3 when he was targeted by the thug.

Fortunately he landed away from the live rails and the train driver Bobby Walker was able to slam on his emergency brakes just four seconds before he would have hit the victim.

The driver said he at first thought someone was about to take their own life.

Bobby added: “I was shaken very badly by this.

“If he had been on the track a few seconds later he would have been killed.  Also if I had looked away for a few seconds he would have been killed.

“I had a suicide four years ago at Oxford Circus, so I am very glad I managed to stop the train.”
