THIS is the moment a binman let out a high-pitched squeal and legged it as a rat gave him the fright of his life after dropping from a bin.

In amusing footage, he stands at the side of the lorry, pulling the lever to empty the contents of an overflowing bin.
But as it flips upside down, the rodent drops from it and lands on the ground right in front of him.
The terrified worker shouts "Ooh" and jumps up to avoid the rat which scarpers across the road.
But as it runs towards his workmate who is standing off in the distance, he lets out a far more high-pitched scream before making a rapid dash out of the way.
