LONDON— -- Dozens of onlookers pushed a double-decker bus off a cyclist whose leg was trapped under the vehicle after a collision in east London Thursday, a witness told ABC News.
"They tried lifting the bus for about fifteen minutes before help came," Mustafa, an employee at a nearby store who declined to give his last name, said.
In a video published on social media, screams are heard and bystanders are seen rushing to the scene to rescue the man and move the bus off his crushed legs.
The male cyclist was believed to have been riding a unicycle, police told ABC News in a statement. He was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition, the police statement added.
No arrests have been made.
