\n<\/p>\n

\n

Commuters at a train station in Australia were left doing a doubletake as an escaped racehorse joined them to wait for a passenger service.<\/p>\n

The rogue animal turned up at Warwick Farm station, New South Wales<\/a><\/strong>, and trotted down the platform before pausing ahead of the train’s arrival – when it even stood behind the yellow line.<\/p>\n

Footage shared by Transport for NSW shows shocked commuters stepping back as the horse made its way past just before midnight on 5 April.<\/p>\n

The transport authority saw the funny side as they shared an update about the incident on Facebook.<\/p>\n

In a post about a “missing individual”, they wrote: “He was reported to be wearing only a rug and demonstrating a bit of horseplay.”<\/p>\n

“He appeared to pursue an informant along the platform before unsuccessfully attempting to board a train service,” they continued.<\/p>\n

“The individual then moved to the car park area where he was taken in by his owner and he was returned to his residence in a stable condition.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The post concluded: “No one involved in the incident is intending to take any further action as the individual was only horsing around!”<\/p>\n

Local media said Warwick Farm station is near a racecourse but has not confirmed this is where the horse escaped from.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
