Shocking footage shows the moment a cat used up one of his nine lives after he miraculously survived being run over by a BMW in a hit-and-run outside his home.

The 12-year-old puss called Arnie was mowed down by the speeding car on Penhill Crescent, in Worcester at around 8.50 am on Wednesday (17/3).

Distressing footage captured Arnie being sent flying across the residential street with a sickening thud when he ran out into the road as the blue vehicle approached.

Incredibly, the plucky feline was able to walk away from the ordeal without any sign of broken bones but has been hiding behind a neighbour's garage ever since.

Thomas Brace captured the harrowing video on his ring doorbell while his partner Joanne was getting their children in the car ready for school.
