A 20-year-old man in Arkansas who was dressed as Spider-Man helps a man using a wheelchair cross a busy, six-lane road, according to multiple reports. The man, identified as Christopher Hellenthal, is described as having been in costume after work and while returning from an event. He spots a person in a wheelchair struggling to cross the highway and stops to assist.
Reports state the rescue happens quickly, with observers and traffic camera footage capturing the moment. One source notes the incident unfolds in a matter of seconds, as the wheelchair user is guided across multiple lanes of heavy traffic to safety. After the video circulated online, the incident draws attention for the spontaneous act and the apparent timing of the assistance.
The accounts agree on the basic details: Hellenthal’s Spider-Man costume, the wheelchair user in distress, the six-lane highway, and the use of footage that became viral. They differ only in how they frame the context, such as whether he had just finished work or was returning from an event.
