This is the bizarre moment a man yelps in pain and hobbles off on one leg after appearing to lean into a slowly reversing pick-up truck.
Devon and Cornwall Police were called to an incident on Bailey Terrace in Bridgerule, Devon at 1:27pm on February 11.
In the footage the man can be seen waving down two vehicles on the narrow road – allowing a pick-up truck to reverse onto a driveway so a van could safely pass.

As the truck reverses, the man is seen walking backwards before appearing to lean into the slow-moving vehicle and dropping to his knees as he hits it.
He is heard shouting: ‘You’ve got my foot stuck move forward!’
The video shows the man screaming in agony and his foot appearing to be caught on the truck’s towbar.
As the driver pulls forward the man gets to his feet before hopping off and saying to another gentleman: ‘Did you see that?’
He is then seen hopping to a wall and shouting in pain as the truck drives off.

The driver, who doesn’t want to be named, told The Sun: ‘It is just ridiculous.
‘I heard him screaming as if he had given birth to triplets or stood on a landmine.
‘I knew he was there because I looked in the side mirror. But next thing I know, he has jumped behind me and he has his hands in the air.
Devon and Cornwall cops said in a statement: ‘This appears to be a low-speed collision between a car and a pedestrian.
‘One person reported minor injuries. Officers attended and spoke to the pedestrian and the driver.
‘There was no further police action and the log is now closed.’
