Charles Ramsey, the man who helped save Amanda Berry and two other women who were kept tied up in the basement of an Ohio home for almost a decade, has become an Internet sensation after a series of interviews he gave about the ordeal went viral.
Ramsey told reporters he heard screams coming from his neighbor's home Monday evening and went to investigate.
"I heard screaming," Ramsey told Cleveland's ABC affiliate. "I'm eating my McDonald's. I come outside. I see this girl going nuts, trying to get out of a house. So I go on the porch, and she says 'help me get out. I've been here a long time.' So you know, I figured it was a domestic dispute. So I opened the door, and we couldn't get in... So we kicked the bottom. And she comes out with a little girl and she says 'call 911. My name is Amanda Berry.'"

Neighbors, including Ramsey, helped rescue Berry, along with Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight, and a 6-year-old girl police say Berry gave birth to while in captivity, from the suburban Cleveland home where the
women were reportedly held for the last 10 years after being abducted in separate incidents between 2002 and 2004.
Berry identified her captor as the home's owner, Ariel Castro, 52. Castro and his two brothers, who do not live at the home, have been arrested for the alleged kidnapping, police said.
"My neighbor, you got some big testicles to pull this off, bro," Ramsey told WEWS-TV. "Because we see this dude every day. Every day. I mean every day. I barbecue with this dude. We eat ribs and what not and listen to salsa music. You see where I'm coming from? Bro, not a clue that girl was in that house."
After his colorful interviews, Ramsey has attracted quite the Twitter following.
