Nobody helps this man with a flat tyre... except the guy you'd least expect



AFTER waiting two hours for help with a flat tyre, YouTuber Ryan Hamilton was shocked when a burns victim came to his rescue.

The video shows Ryan parked at the side of a busy Boston motorway pretending to have a flat tyre.

The scene was set up as a social experiment to see if people still help out strangers.

Eventually, a man named Eric gets out of his car to help the stranded prankster.

He explains that he’s just come from a medical appointment to treat the extensive burns he received in a house fire in June.

His injuries have forced him to endure a number of skin grafts, preventing him from standing up for prolonged periods and meaning he's still on pain-relief medication.

Despite his difficult situation, he does not hesitate to help out someone in need.

When Ryan asks Eric why he pulled over, he modestly states that “everybody needs a little help here and there”.

As their conversation progresses, Ryan admits to Eric that the scene has been staged for a social experiment.

He then encourages Eric to tell more of his story and repays him for his selflessness by buying him a new PlayStation and games.

The video was posted on Ryan's Hammy TV page on YouTube and has already racked up over 6 million hits.

The internet has been so touched by Eric’s kind act that his Just Giving page - for help paying medical bills - has climbed to £126,000 in donations.
