In the 8-second CCTV footage, a man dressed in a shirt and lungi can be seen standing on the side of a road. Suddenly, a high-speeding auto-rickshaw takes a turn and enters the lane. It is about to trip when the man turns around. He pushes the auto to get it back into its normal



position and saves the lives of the driver and the passengers sitting inside.

It is unknown when and where the incident happened.

The video is being widely circulated on social media. It has garnered more than 2 lakh views and over 20,500 likes.

One user said, "What agility and coordination of mind body." Another wrote, "It is a reflex action. U can see there is wall beside the man. If he wouldn't push that auto he may have got crushed. It is self-defense."

 A third user commented, "More than being a superhero, it was a survival instinct. He naturally had to do something else the rickshaw would have fallen on him." Yet another added, "Presence of mind at a particular time is more important. He handled the situation tactfully without any harm to himself. No doubt he is a hero but more than that, a great intelligent man."
