A power bank exploded next to a resting mother in northern China.

Terrifying CCTV footage filmed in the city of Jinzhong in Shanxi Province on August 31 shows a charging power bank next to a woman sitting on a sofa suddenly erupting in flames.

The fierce blaze caused immediate panic. The woman, her son and her husband ran away quickly. The husband, who had initially fled the scene, courageously dashed back and hurled the flaming device to the floor before successfully extinguishing the fire on the sofa.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
