Chinese man catches toddler falling from fourth floor of residential building

A heroic man caught a two-year-old boy falling from the fourth floor of a residential building in eastern China.

In the terrifying video, filmed in the city of Huai'an in Jiangsu Province on July 9, a toddler clinging on the fourth-floor aircon ledge suddenly fell down and a man standing under the building caught him.

According to reports, the naughty toddler locked his grandmother outside the flat and climbed out of the window.

A neighbour spotted the toddler and called the police for help.

The concerned neighbours put the duvets on a canopy under the building, to catch the boy in case he fell.

A man named Li Dehai stood on a chair and stretched his hands out to be ready to catch the boy.

Thanks to Li's catch, the boy was not injured at all after being checked in hospital.
