The injured man was riding a unicycle in rush hour in, Walthamstow, east London yesterday, Thursday, when he was in collision with the bus and got trapped beneath it.
A crowd of between 50 and 100 onlookers quickly took the matter into their own hands by nudging and lifting the massive bus off the injured man’s pinned leg.
It meant when an off duty medic arrived on the scene, the victim had been freed and could be treated properly.
He was then taken to hospital by ambulance, where he remains.
