One customer who witnessed the extraordinary scenes told local TV broadcaster Polsat News: ‘I have seen many things in my life, but to land a helicopter at the station…you have to be a really good pilot to do such a thing.’

The video has now been flooded with comments with people asking if the pilot also bought a hotdog or was collecting points for his fuel card.

One viewer calling himself dr0pSu said: ‘We have it! GTA 6 official trailer. It’s not Los Santos or Liberty City anymore, it’s time for Garwolin City.’

Another called Mariano 96 quipped: ‘Perhaps the petrol is cheaper in Garwolin.’

While someone calling themselves sdd commented: ‘He should lose his pilot’s licence!!!’

Police say they are now looking into the matter.
