Security camera footage captured the man shouting for the child as others gathered around.

(SOUNDBITE) (Cantonese) MAN WHO CAUGHT FALLING CHILD, MR. LI, SAYING:

"I was so scared I wouldn't catch him. Some people brought some cardboard boxes over in case I couldn't catch him, thinking that he wouldn't hurt himself so much if he fell onto the cardboard boxes."

Moments later, the boy's mother came, took him and ran away from the scene.
