Gavin and Stacey star Mathew Horne was reportedly clipped by a passenger train as he walked home from a local pub over the Christmas period.
Horne, 40, was knocked backwards after he was struck by the train on a pedestrian crossing in Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire, according to witnesses.
He did not require hospital treatment after the incident involving an East Midlands passenger train on December 20.
A duty manager at The Nelson pub told The Sun: “It was a really, really unfortunate accident and it could have been a lot worse. We are all glad that it wasn’t.
“He was obviously very shaken up but he’s all right now. He’s got a bit of a scratch on him but no underlying issue there whatsoever.”
Another source was quoted by the newspaper as saying: “He was clipped by a train and knocked backwards. He had a miraculous escape.”
East Midlands Ambulance Service and British Transport Police were called to the scene shortly after 10.30pm. Paramedics and a doctor checked Horne over but he was not taken to hospital.
Horne shot to fame playing Gavin Shipman in Bafta-winning series Gavin and Stacey with friend James Cordon, who co-created the show.
The Standard has a contacted a representative for Horne for comment.
