Train jumper a 'bloody idiot': WA premier

A man filmed train surfing then taking a death-defying leap from a bridge into the water below is a "complete, utter, bloody idiot", West Australian Premier Mark McGowan says.

In the footage posted on social media, the man waves to the camera then jumps off the train on the Fremantle Railway Bridge, landing in the water just metres from a concrete pylon.

"He endangered his own life (and) he set a very poor example for others," Mr McGowan told reporters on Monday.
