Firefighters in northern China rescued an infant trapped in a rubbish chute in a residential building.

In the video, shot in the city of Liaoyang in Liaoning Province on June 1, a fireman climbed into the rubbish chute to take out the infant who was trapped in between fourth and fifth floor.

According to reports, some residents heard the infant's crying inside the rubbish chute and called the firefighters.

Two fire engines and eight firemen arrived on site and found blood on the fifth-floor corridor. They then guessed that the infant was stuck in between the fourth and fifth floor's chute.

Luckily the infant was in a plastic bag which was hanging on waste glass.

After 20 minutes, the infant was rescued successfully. They were not in life-threatening condition.

Police are investigating the case. The video was provided by local media with permission.

6月1日11时47分，辽阳市消防救援支队指挥中心接到群众报警称，位于辽阳市白塔区东六道街一住宅楼垃圾道内传来微弱啼哭声，疑似有婴儿被卡在垃圾道内，情况十分紧急。接警后，辽阳市消防救援支队立即调派辖区铁西路消防救援站2车8人火速赶往现场。
救援人员到达现场后，在上楼的过程中发现六楼走廊有血迹，指挥员根据婴儿啼哭声初步判断，婴儿应该被卡在六楼和五楼的垃圾道之间。时间就是生命，现场指挥员张昊天立即探入垃圾道内勘察情况，经勘察发现，婴儿的啼哭声是从一个塑料袋里传出，所幸塑料袋被挂在了垃圾道内的废玻璃上，但由于垃圾道狭窄，且婴儿悬挂位置不稳，为了避免造成二次伤害，指挥员一方面命令1名身材瘦高的消防员通过六楼垃圾道口进行徒手救援，另一方面出动混凝土破拆器材随时准备破拆五楼垃圾道。经过消防员的三次尝试，20分钟后，成功取到装有婴儿的塑料袋，婴儿被成功救出，并迅速送至救护车处，经现场医生初步诊断，婴儿呼吸正常，暂无生命危险。事件已交由公安机关进一步调查。（视频由辽阳消防提供）
