A driver dressed as Spider-Man was seen helping a man in a wheelchair cross a busy road in the US.

Christopher Hellenthal was on his way back from a superhero-themed event and jumped in to help moments before the lights at the junction changed.

The Jonesboro Police Department, in the state of Arkansas, shared the moment captured on traffic camera footage, thanking Hellenthal for his actions.

Not all heroes wear capes, but sometimes they are dressed for the moment.
