This is the moment a man saves a baby’s life during the terrorist attack in Barcelona on Thursday.
Video footage shows the man pushing the baby’s pram out of the way of the terrorist attacker’s van with an inch to spare, as it speeds past down Las Ramblas.
The attack, which took place at around 5pm local time, killed at least 13 and injured some 130 people from more than 20 countries.

The incident was captured on the CCTV cameras on the second floor of a what appears to be a shop on the busy street.
As oblivious shoppers peruse what is on offer in the store, the cameras are aimed at the streets, filming the terrorist attack going on in the background.
It is not known who the man is or what his relationship is to the child in the pram.
He is seen running and pushing the pram in front of him, the second before the van drives past them.
As of Friday afternoon, authorities have yet to officially identify the jihadi who mowed down tourists on Las Ramblas.

The prime suspect is 18-year-old Moussa Oukabir, who is thought to have hired the van using his older brother’s ID.
Police have now suggested he may have joined four other extremists who claimed another victim before they were shot dead by police in the resort of Cambrils late last night.
Catalonia police chief Josep Lluis Trapero told the a press conference that ‘the investigation points in the direction’ of the first attacker having taken part in the second assault but, he added, there is no ‘concrete proof’.
Moussa Oukabir, said to be a Spanish national of Moroccan heritage, had previously written about ‘killing infidels’ in a chilling online post and has not been seen since the first attack took place.
