Stretford, Manchester United Kingdom - A hero cop rescued a man from his burning car - just three seconds before it exploded into a fireball. PC Paul Lowden dragged free the man, who was slumped at the wheel - and the whole thing was caught on CCTV.
But the driver's luck ran out soon after - he was arrested and charged with a drink-driving related offence. The drama happened when CCTV operators noticed a car on fire in a street in Stretford, Manchester.
Dog handler PC Lowden, 35, arrived on the scene and sprang into action. He said: "Within three seconds of me pulling the guy clear, the car exploded."
Amazingly, neither man was injured.
