- 11 months ago
This is the moment two men hanging from a window ledge off the top of a burning tower block were rescued by firefighters and a police officer.
The fire at Twinnell House in Bristol had already tragically claimed the life of one man, Abdul Jabar Oryakhel, who fell to his death while trying to escape the blaze.
But the two other men clinging on for their lives to the outside of the ledge on the 16th floor of the council tower block were pulled to safety and survived.
Bodycam footage show PC Justin Robbie bravely smash the block's corridor windows with his truncheon to get to the men after storming the building to reach them.
