Footage shows dozens of people on Rookwood Road in Stamford Hill, pushing the front and back of the bus in an attempt to straighten it and stop it blocking the whole street.

They initially manage to get it unstuck to a round of cheers although it only moves a few metres.

But they did eventually manage to get the bus moving again just before midnight.

Levi Schapiro, a resident of Stamford Hill, said: “Community cohesion at its best, fantastic to see our Stamford Hill community awake at this late hour to help locals stuck in snow, including this local bus driver.”
