Dramatic footage shows the moment a hero police officer saved two men from a deadly tower block blaze - caused by an e-bike.
PC Justin Robbie used his baton to smash a window so the men - who were hanging
from a ledge 16 storeys up - could be hauled in.
Emergency services were called to Twinnell House in Easton, Bristol in the early hours of September 25 last year.
Investigators have since ruled the fire was caused by an e-bike.
Dad-of-seven Abdul Jabar Oryakhel, 30, died trying to escape and eight other people were injured.
Avon and Somerset police released the bodycam video after PC Robbie was nominated for a bravery award.
