A brave man rescued a 2-year-old boy hanging from a third-floor window in southern China.

Video filmed in Panzhihua City in Sichuan Province on April 28 shows a boy getting his head stuck in the security bars and dangling from the window on the third floor.

A 54-year-old man named Yang Shiyou swiftly climbed up the building, manoeuvred through the hallway window, and skillfully ascended the exterior wall guardrail in a few steps to reach the child's side.

Yang then held onto the guardrail with one hand and cradled the boy with the other, carefully adjusting his position to manoeuvre the child back through the gaps.

According to the boy's mother Ms Deng, she took her eldest daughter to school, assuming her young son would still be asleep. Consequently, she had locked him inside the house.

Yang was reportedly riding a motorcycle to work when he spotted the incident. With his experience in working at heights, he quickly rushed past the road, leaving his motorcycle behind.

Following the successful rescue, Yang left for work.

4月28日早晨6时许，四川攀枝花，一名2岁幼童头部卡在4楼窗外防护栏里，双腿悬空。危急时刻，过路的一名男子徒手爬上4楼窗外，托举幼童，将其送回窗内。
经了解，救人男子叫杨世友，已经54岁，当时他骑着摩托车去上班，耳畔突然响起嘈杂的惊呼声，原来一名穿着尿不湿的幼童，头部卡在4楼窗外防护栏里，两腿悬空。围观者大多是老人，他们手足无措，十分焦急。“我年轻，只有我行！”有一定高空作业经验的杨世友来不及挪车，迅速冲过公路。略微观察后，便“蹭蹭蹭”跑上了楼，从楼道窗口探身，敏捷地爬上外墙防护栏，三两步就来到幼童身边。幼童不停地挣扎尖叫，杨世友用手托举幼童并安慰说：“小朋友莫闹，叔叔来救你了！”他发现防护栏缝隙较小，正好卡住幼童头部。看到室内窗下是一张床，他便一只手抓住护栏，一只手环抱着孩子，小心翼翼地调整身姿，把孩子从防护栏间隙送回去，放到床上。随即关好窗子，原路返回下楼。成功救人后，杨世友未作停留，穿过公路，到加油站骑上摩托车，赶往东区工业园区一家工厂上班。
“非常感谢那位不知名的好心人和那些好邻居！”4楼住户邓女士心有余悸地说，当天早上她送大女儿去上学。想着年幼的儿子还在睡觉，一时半会不会醒，就把他锁在家里了。“没想到发生了这样的事情，现在想想都后怕。孩子才两岁，非常顽皮好动，以后再也不敢把他单独留在家里了。”邓女士说。

得知此事后，阿里巴巴公益为杨世友颁发5000元天天正能量奖金。
