THIS is the moment a woman went head-to-head with railway staff to delay a high-speed train so her late friends could hop on – only to be arrested later.

Captured on video at a station in Shenzhen, China, the woman is seen brazenly blocking the train doors with her body as staff desperately try to get her inside the carriage.

She stands firm, resisting two railway employees who push and plead with her to move.

Instead of cooperating, she coolly continues using her phone and gesturing to her friends to hurry up – all while halting the sleek bullet train’s departure.

Despite the chaos, the train eventually pulled away and reached its destination on time.

But the drama didn’t end there.

Police tracked the 45-year-old to the city of Xiamen the following day and detained her for “interrupting train operations” – a serious offence in China’s ultra-efficient railway network.

Her antics sparked a furious backlash online.

“There should be a penalty for this behaviour. That action wasted a lot of time for others,” fumed one social media user.

Another warned: “If the woman got away with it, many people would do what she did.”

“A one-minute delay can lead to serious consequences for the trains arriving after this one,” added a third.

And a fourth raged: “I would have just pulled her out. What a selfish person!”

China’s high-speed trains are known for their clockwork precision – and authorities clearly weren’t amused by the woman’s attempt to derail that.

It comes after a daft tourist fell from a train after dangling out of the carriage to get the perfect snap in Sri Lanka.

The young woman was holding onto the railings and leaning back when she was bashed in the head by some tree branches.

She was then quickly dragged from the carriage.

In horrifying footage of the incident, one of her arms can be seen flailing in a panic as she falls out of the train.

The man behind the camera can be heard shouting while passengers look on in horror.

The train ground to a halt at the next stop and passengers walked back to help her.

The woman, who had visited the country from China, was luckily not seriously injured as she landed in some bushes.

Local cops have reminded passengers on trains to pay attention to their surroundings at all times.

They have also urged others to follow safety precautions.

Meanwhile, another tourist was shamed online after being caught violently grabbing a bird while taking selfies.

The unnamed man attempted to hold the struggling bird so he could take a picture.

The video was filmed at a beach in Dalian in China by other tourists following the coronavirus restrictions being lifted.

As the man holds the bird, his partner takes pictures of him holding it by the base of the wings so it can’t fly away.

After he gets enough photographs, he then throws it roughly into the air as it escapes.

A woman on the beach screams as he chucks the bird away and yells at him.
