This is the dramatic moment a father stopped a rolling truck with one hand while holding his baby.

CCTV footage shows the father cradling his toddler as the out-of-control lorry reversed toward his parked BMW in Hebei, China.

Meanwhile, the driver struggled to halt the vehicle and prevent it from hitting the black sedan in the front yard on October 16.

Upon seeing this, the quick-thinking man rushed toward the heavy goods vehicle and extended his hand to stop it from crashing into the stationary car.

The dad managed to stop the truck just in time while still firmly holding his baby, as the driver successfully engaged the brake inches from the BMW.

The man said he suffered a large blister on his palm due to the intense friction when stopping the vehicle.
