Video shows a Chinese family's electric scooter explode while being charged in their living room.
The video, recorded by the family's surveillance camera in their living room, showed the family at home on a Sunday afternoon.
Suddenly, smoke came out of the scooter, accompanied by large noises.
Video shows a man trying to disconnect the charger. But after seeing the smoke increase, he grabs a child that is in the room and flees the area.
Seconds later the scooter explodes into flames.
Online viewer comments praised the man's fast response to the accident.
Smoke from burning batteries are highly toxic, which may cause people exposed to the smoke to suffocate in mere seconds, according to firefighters.
