Man Catches 2-Year-Old Who Fell From Fourth Floor Balcony

July 21, 2020

A man in Huai'an, China, is being hailed a hero for catching a small child who fell four stories from his apartment balcony.

Dramatic video footage shows a 2-year-old child clinging to an air conditioning unit outside a fourth-story apartment building.

The child had reportedly locked his grandmother out of the apartment and then climbed through the window, the New York Post said.

The toddler lost his grip and his body flipped over several times in the air as he plunged to the ground.

Thankfully, a man standing below reached up and caught the child in his arms, then laid him on his shoulder as neighbors gathered around to help.
