Watch: What happened when a hand poked out of a suitcase at Swiss rail station

Geneva: A hilarious video of a 21-year-old man, who had concealed himself into a suitcase to illegally cross the Swiss border, has become viral on the social media.

The amazing video shows a young man unzipping himself from a bag placed on a station platform and coming out of it, leaving rail travellers and border guards in a state of shock.

The video was shot by a Swiss border guard, who first noticed a human hand poking out of a suitcase and struggling to open the zipper.

The guard at the train station near the Italian border then unzipped the rest of the suitcase to let a 6-feet-tall man dressed in jeans and T-shirt uncurl his legs and come out of the bag.

The poor man was, however, sent back to Italy.
