The man pushes through traffic to save the woman strangling herself

(Rumble)

An astonishing video has revealed the moment a man on a motorbike saves a woman from killing herself on a busy road.

The footage shows an unidentified man approaching a queue of traffic on his motorbike to see a woman slumped in the middle of a road, shoeless, with her head bent over.

The man pats her and asks if she is alright, but the woman doesn't respond. The biker then orders another man not to lift her up and checks her neck to see if she is breathing - discovering a ligature wrapped tightly around her neck.

When he asks her her name, the woman replies: “Let me die."

“We can’t let you die,” he replies.

“Luckily I was here because everyone was just looking at her. I don’t know why anybody didn’t help this lady. For like 10 minutes I was here,” he says to the group of onlookers who have now got out of their cars.
