I'm the definition of a man, bro Charles Ramsey, a restaurant dishwasher from a rundown suburb of Cleveland, has been thrust into the global spotlight after he knocked down a neighbour's door on Monday and helped to free three women and a girl who police say were held hostage in a home for up to a decade.

But it was his animated re-telling of the story on live television that really sent social media into a spin, sparking countless memes, Auto-Tune remixes and instant celebrity. In the moments after the dramatic escape, Ramsey described in detail to CNN affiliate WEWS how his take-away dinner that night was interrupted by Amanda Berry's cries for help. Just do it: Charles Ramsey. Photo: @BIGcityPT He ran from his porch, clutching a half-eaten Big Mac, to his neighbour's house and helped to kick down the door. I heard screaming. I'm eating my McDonald's. I come outside, I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of the house," Ramsey said in an interview now heard around the world. His shock at discovering what had occurred next door was evident in his colourful, and sometimes politically incorrect, comments. Super hero: Charles Ramsey has been lauded on the web. Photo: @coloradorebecca "Like I say, my neighbour, you've got some big testicles to pull this off bro because we see this dude every day, I mean every day," Ramsey said of his neighbour Ariel Castro, who has since been arrested. I've been here a year, you see where I'm coming from? I BBQ with this dude, we eat ribs and whatnot and listen to salsa music, you see where I'm coming from? Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wrong here. Dead give away. Ramsey ended the interview with a thumbs up to the camera. Soon Charles "Chuck" Ramsey was a trending topic on Twitter. Internet users have Auto-Tuned selections of his 15 minutes of fame into songs, including one called "Little Pretty White Girl." Countless images of Ramsey are circulating on social media, including one in which his likeness is compared to that of comedian Eddie Murphy in the film Coming to America. In one of the top tweets about Ramsey, American stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt wrote: "Dear Charles Ramsey: I am not a little pretty white girl, but I totally want to run into your black arms. #hero." For it's part, McDonald's tweeted: "Way to go Charles Ramsey -- we'll be in touch." Hodge's, the restaurant where Ramsey works in Downtown Cleveland, posted on its Facebook page that it was "extremely proud of our employee Charles Ramsey for not turning his back on the young women. He's a true Cleveland hero. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with the women, their families and their friends. Restaurant owner Chris Hodgson told Cleveland.com that the video shows just what kind of person Ramsey is. "What you see in the video is what you get with Chuck," Hodgson said. He's calm in the face of crazy and hectic things going on. He always steps up to do anything you ask ... He never says no. He always jumps on it. Ramsey's demeanour also comes across clearly in his 911 call, which he began with the fact that he was eating McDonald's. "Hey bro," Ramsey tells the 911 operator. Check this out. I just came from McDonald's right? So I'm on my porch eating my little food, right? This broad is trying to break out the f-----g house next door to me, so there's a bunch of people on the street right now and s--t. So we're like, 'What's wrong, what's the problem?' She's like, 'This m--------r done kidnapped me and my daughter ... She said her name is Linda Berry or some s--t. I don't know who the f--k that is, I just moved over here, bro. You know what I mean? He then answers the 911 operator's questions about the woman, what she looks like, and what she's wearing. Ramsey tells the operator an address which he says corresponds to Berry's location, not Ramsey's home address. I'm smarter than that, bro. I'm telling you where the crime was, not my house," he says. "Are the people that she said did this, are they still in the house?" the 911 operator asks. I don't have a f-----g clue, bro. Like I said, I just came from McDonald's. The operator then asks him to check whether Berry needs an ambulance. She needs everything. She's in a panic, bro. She's been kidnapped, so, you know, put yourself in her shoes. "We'll send the police out," the operator responds. But Ramsey told NBC affiliate WKYC that he didn't want the hero tag attached to his name. "I don't even want it, I'm not looking for it bro," he said. Let me tell you something. I'm American, and I'm a human being. I'm just like you. I work for a living. There was a woman in distress, so why turn your back on that? My father would have whoopped the hell out of me if he had found out that I cowered [sic] out. I'm the definition of a man, bro.
