Ashraf Kabonga pulls a train with his hands... and cheers celebrate his achievement

An Egyptian is looking forward to a Guinness World Record after pulling a 180-tonne train into an overcrowded train station in Cairo.

Dozens of spectators crowded around Ashraf Kabonga, who was tied to the train carriage before he pulled it centimeters forward on the tracks, and crowd cheers resounded in celebration of his achievement.

Kabonga said: "Its intensity or intensity, God willing, will be a second attempt. This is an experiment, guys. It is an experiment, no less or more. It has succeeded. It remains good and blessing. You will not succeed, God willing, you will train again... I need your prayers."

The wrestler and fitness enthusiast added that he will be training more in the coming months to be able to pull a heavier train, hoping to break previous international records.

He continued, "God willing, within two months, the Guinness Book of Records will answer me. I will send them the videos, and God willing, they will try and they will supervise them and tell me how many kilos exactly when I try after 3 months, God willing."
