A mother and her son rescued a toddler who fell onto their second-floor clothes rack in eastern China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu Province on November 12 shows a 2-year-old boy falling out of a fourth-floor window and landing onto a balcony two floors below.

A 17-year-old boy named Jiang Chaoyang and his mother Zhu Xiaoyan pulled the toddler back into the flat together.

According to reports, Jiang heard a loud noise and ran to check on his balcony.

After seeing a boy laying on the clothes rack, Jiang held the boy and asked for help from his mother.

The boy reportedly climbed over the fourth-floor window and accidentally fell down as the window was open.

Fortunately, the toddler only suffered minor scratches.

11月12日中午，江苏张家港一名 2 岁男童爬上自家阳台，不慎从 5 楼坠落，悬挂在 3 楼阳台外的晾衣架上。摇摇欲坠之时，住在三楼的一对母子紧急施救。
中午，恰逢周末，张家港市冶金园（锦丰镇）某小区，住在 3 楼的 17 岁少年姜朝阳和母亲朱小燕正在家中休息。突然，窗外传来一声巨响，姜朝阳立即冲过去查看，发现自家阳台的晾衣架上，赫然趴着一个男童。男童仅有双腿卡在晾衣架的边缘，随时都有二次坠落的危险。
姜朝阳迅速将身子探出阳台，双手牢牢抓住男童，同时疾呼母亲前来救助。听到叫喊声，朱小燕也探出阳台参与施救，母子二人合力将男童从晾衣架的边缘一点一点地往回拽。最终，姜朝阳将男童横抱下阳台。
后经了解，坠楼的男童 2 岁，家住该栋楼 5 楼。事发时，5楼住户正晒着被子，窗户开着，男童趁家人不注意，攀爬上阳台上的凳子，翻出阳台爬上了晾衣架，随后不慎坠落。所幸，男童被 3 楼的晾衣架接住，后经朱小燕和姜朝阳母子营救脱险。孩子受了惊吓哭闹不止，母子还不停安抚他的情绪。没一会儿，孩子的家长也迅速赶来，把他接回了家。经检查，坠楼男童并无大碍，只是轻微擦伤。
目前，张家港警方正在为英勇救人的姜朝阳和朱小燕母子申报见义勇为奖。
