In a scene straight out of an action movie, a quick-thinking friend delivered a spectacular flying kick to rescue his colleague from a terrifying electrocution, just in the nick of time.
Shocking surveillance video, which has gone viral on social media, captures the heart-stopping incident at what appears to be an industrial or construction site.
One worker is seen gripping metal poles or scaffolding that suddenly become live with electricity, causing his body to convulse violently as the current locks his muscles in place.
Unable to let go, the man in a white vest and dark trousers jerks uncontrollably. But his heroic mate doesn't hesitate for a second. Dropping what he's carrying, he sprints towards the danger, launches himself into the air and slams both feet squarely into his friend's chest in a perfectly executed double-footed flying kick.
The powerful impact breaks the electrical circuit, sending the victim flying backwards and freeing him from the deadly grip of the live current. Both men crash to the ground moments later as bystanders rush in to help.
