The clip is being shared after a unicyclist was apparently freed from under a bus in Walthamstow, east London, by dozens of people.

People who were eating in nearby restaurants rushed out to help.

You can hear shouting and screaming as people try to lift the vehicle.

The footage was posted on YouTube by Zafer Sari.

Louise was on the bus

"I was upstairs on my way home from work when I heard a loud bang," she said.

"I was on the driver's window side and I saw people rushing to the bus, shouting at the driver to stop.

"The driver tried to move but was told to stop and everyone rushed off the bus.

"Immediately people were trying to get the man out and trying to lift the bus.

"More and more people came running over to help and there was a lot of commotion.

"Through sheer force they lifted it and I can only assume he was pulled clear. I couldn't see for sure as there were so many people in the way.

"I only hope he pulls through as his unicycle was in pieces."
