Incredible footage has captured the moment a man climbed out of his eighth storey apartment window in Kazakhstan to catch a helpless three-year-old girl.
The toddler, who was reportedly alone at home at the time, was hanging by the window ledge above a 30 metre drop.
That's when her neighbour on the floor below, identified as Shontakbaev Sabit, stepped out of his window and tugged her right leg, telling her to let go.
Mr Sabit swiftly catches her, finds his balance and hands her over to someone waiting by his window. Watch the complete rescue below.
The rescue – which took a minute to complete – happened in the country‘s capital Nur-Sultan on Wednesday.
It‘s understood locals called the emergency services who told them they would not be able to reach the young girl in time, which prompted Sabit to bravely act.
Kazakhstan‘s ministry of emergency situations has named Sabit a hero and awarded him a medal for the speedy rescue which saved the toddler’s life.
“On 11th May at 10.21am, a message was received that a child was hanging from a window on Uly Dala Street 27/1 on the eighth floor,” the ministry said in a statement.
“Subdivisions of the Department of Emergency Situations of the city of Nur-Sultan, consisting of 7 personnel and 2 vehicles, were promptly sent to the scene.”
By the time they arrived, Sabit had already saved the youngster.
“No one was with the girl, born in 2019. Fortunately, our hero Shontakbaev Sabit, born in 1985, seeing the hanging, crying child, without hesitation and risking his own life, took emergency action and literally caught and saved the little girl’s life in a matter of seconds,” the ministry said.
