That’s what you call a good work ethic!
During the G20 protests in Hamburg on Thursday, it was not just the left-wing demonstrators attracting attention.
Footage of a pizza delivery driver snaking through the crowds appeared on live television footage of the protests.
His apparent bravery earned him praise on Twitter.
According to the website Fink Hamburg the driver is called Benjamin. It is thought the 27-year-old was on his way back from a delivery.
He told the website passing through the protesters had been ‘really dangerous’.
Here is the scene filmed from a different angle:
And this is him after making it through the crowds:
