Neighbour saw a girl 'going nuts' at Cleveland hostage house
Rescuer who was first on the scene is hailed a hero as TV interview goes viral on internet
The neighbour who helped rescue Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight was being hailed as a hero as his interview with a local television network went viral on the internet.
With his wild hair and twanging drawl, Charles Ramsey gave his account of the moment Berry saw fresh air and begged him to call 911.
"I'm eating my McDonald's, I come outside, and I see this girl going nuts, trying to get out of the house," Ramsey told NBC station WKYC-TV.
"So I go over there ... and I say, 'Can I help? What's going on?'
"I got on the porch and she said, 'Help me get out. I've been here a long time.' I figured it was a domestic violence dispute. So I open the door.
