A three-year-old landed on a canopy and was brought back to safety by a kind-hearted man after falling from the first floor of a building in southwestern China.

In the video, filmed in the country of Majiang in Guizhou Province on November 13, a boy hangs from a window ledge on the first floor of a residential building.

Nearby passersby and police officers gathered underneath the building to raise up their hands in case the boy suddenly fell down.

Luckily, the boy dropped onto a canopy and a man brought him back to safety.

The boy was reportedly climbing out of the first-floor window after he woke up and his parents were both downstairs.

Although the toddler was frightened, he was not injured, reports said.

11月13日下午4点40分许，麻江县人民医院正门前一居民楼内，一名3岁多小孩睡醒后从二楼防盗窗空隙中钻出，双手挂在楼檐边缘，继而掉下遮雨棚。而家中大人都在一楼，没有料到危险的到来。

热心群众见到后，急忙聚拢过来，眼见孩重即将掉下，众人纷纷伸手相接。此时，麻江公安交警大队辅警陈建飞也恰好巡逻到此，与群众一起伸手接住了掉下来的孩子。

小孩除了受到惊吓外，所幸没有受伤。
