Baby falls from 8th floor, gets stucked behind AC Unit in 7th floor, rescued





A child was saved from death after falling from an eighth-floor window and becoming jammed between an air conditioning unit and the wall. A passerby heard the toddler’s screams and looked up to see his legs dangling from behind the air conditioning unit on a building in Beijing, China.




The witness said: “I heard screaming and looked up to see a kid stuck behind an air conditioner while his legs were dangling in the air.” Neighbours called for police but then realised that the boy was starting to slip.

"Several men appeared at the balcony on the 7th floor. One of them climbed over and caught the boy's wrist,” said an onlooker.




The three-year-old was saved after several attempts by two Grocery shop workers named 


Wang and Zhou, who risked their lives leaning off a balcony.
