This is the heartstopping moment a hero lorry driver reversed his truck near a burning building to save a man.

Huge plumes of black smoke could be seen billowing from a three-storey building in Granby Row, Dublin, yesterday morning.

Dramatic footage posted online shows a Eurospar lorry with its hazard lights flashing edging closer to the building as the inferno rages above a Thai massage parlour.

A man wearing a dark top and trousers then leaps from the block and through the smoke before a deafening thud is heard as he lands on the lorry's roof.

A total of seven people were treated at the scene, with three being taken to hospital for treatment.
