A man who sat on an axle between two truck trailers moving down an Australian freeway has been branded an  “absolute f*cking moron” after footage of the stunt emerged on Reddit.

According to the Australian Daily Mail, the footage of the dangerous stunt was uploaded to Reddit after being filmed on the Monash Freeway in Melbourne on Tuesday.

The video shows the man sitting fairly comfortably as the truck travels down the freeway, which has a maximum speed limit of 100km/h.

Only one of his hands is holding onto the axle, with the other resting on his lap.

It isn’t known how long or how far the man travelled in this manner.

One Reddit user branded the man in the stunt as an “absolute f*cking moron,” referring to how a friend of his father had been seriously injured and blinded after trying to jaywalk between a truck and trailer.

Other users understandably condemned the stunt, although there was also criticism for the driver who filmed the incident while he was in control of his vehicle.
