A heroic man held a 4-year-old hanging from a third-floor window for half an hour before firefighters arrived in southern China.

The video, filmed in the city of Yiyang in Hunan Province on September 16, shows a boy dangling from a third-floor window as his head got stuck in between the security bars.

A man named Yao Yongzhong was seen squatting on the top of a second-floor window and using his back to support the boy with another person's help, while another man tried to lift the boy up from inside the flat.

After the firefighters arrived, they helped the three men rescue the boy successfully.

According to reports, the boy was home alone and fell out of the window accidentally.

Fortunately, the boy was not injured seriously.

The video was provided by local media with permission.
