Neighbors and policemen rushed to the rescue after an emergency call was received at 6:40 am on May 6, reporting the horrific incident in the Chinese city of Zhangye.<\/p>\n

Locals tried to reach the trapped child with the help of a ladder – but discovered that the ladder was too small to cover the distance of ten metres.<\/p>\n

But when police arrived at 6:47 a.m., the loincloth-clad youth was pulled to safety by a policeman and local shopkeeper Wang Duohong.<\/p>\n

The hero pair lay down on their stomachs and reached down to grab the boy’s hand and pulled him onto solid ground.<\/p>\n

Witnesses heard the child screaming for help as he became stuck on a small ledge and feared for his life.<\/p>\n

According to community workers, the child was left alone at home while his parents went to the shops.<\/p>\n

He reportedly climbed out of a window and reached the outside of the building.<\/p>\n

Another local report said the young man was playing on a ledge when he slipped and was left hanging on a cable.<\/p>\n

The small child was pulled out safely without any injuries.<\/span>Credit: View Source<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hero shopkeeper Wang said: “At that time, I didn’t really think about being scared. I just got worried when I saw such a small child hanging there.”<\/p>\n

The shopkeeper said: \u201cWe are all neighbours, and as long as the child is rescued safely, that is all that matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cFortunately, nothing happened to him and he was not hurt at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we pulled her over, her grandpa was there, so I just handed her over to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police later warned parents and caregivers to keep a close eye on small children at home, close windows and doors, and ensure homes are properly protected from accidents.<\/p>\n

Another child in St. Petersburg, Russia had an even more terrifying experience when he fell 110 feet from a high window.<\/p>\n

The heart-stopping moment was captured on video and shows the baby sprinting towards the ground.<\/p>\n

An 18-month-old boy survived a terrifying fall because two quick-thinking women pulled up his coat and buffeted him milliseconds before he hit the sidewalk.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
