OASIS star NOEL GALLAGHER has been hailed a hero after he jumped in front of an out-of-control car to prevent it from hitting a row of houses.
The Wonderwall hitmaker was walking through his home neighbourhood of Marylebone, London last week (beg19May08) when he spotted a driverless Smart Car (small electric vehicle) rolling towards the sidewalk - after its owner forgot to apply the handbrake.
Gallagher reportedly stopped the car by jumping in front of it and bringing it to a halt by pushing against the bonnet.
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Noel lives in the area and must have been taking a walk in the weekend sunshine when the car buzzed by. It was flying down the road with no one inside and heading straight for some houses.
"He jumped out in front of the car and pushed it with all his might. The owner looked very embarrassed, but Noel took it all in good humour."
