Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, just a man casually dodging bullets on a rooftop.

In a video posted on Twitter recently armed forces fired several shots at a man making a run (or a crawl) for it and not a single bullet hit him. It looked like something out of an action movie as he dashed and swung across the rooftops like Spider-Man.

The officers appeared to be stunned as their target flung over the last building and made an impressive escape. It's not clear why they were shooting at him, but it is clear that Hollywood movies were not lying about police officers missing their shots.

At first, the thief admitted he was stealing the tyre but his story quickly changed to "borrowing" it when the driver said he called the cops. The video was shared on Twitter and it got one million views.

People could not believe how he tried to look innocent after being caught in the act.

"The thief said 'I wasn’t stealing. I was just going to borrow yours, put it on my truck and then bring it back later'. That’s still called stealing."
