This is the shocking moment an overinflated tyre exploded and knocked over a mechanic in Thailand.

CCTV footage shows the worker named Nick, 25, pumping the rubber wheel full of air at a garage in Phetchabun province on December 10.

But the object suddenly burst and flew toward his face, knocking him to the ground.

Another mechanic rushed Nick to the hospital. Doctors said he had a deep forehead wound but no fractures. He received eight stitches above his left eyebrow and is now in stable condition.

Garage owner Wittaya Phuangmali said: 'The tyre was a secondhand. It had a defect in the sidewall which caused it to explode.'
