A teenager stopped a 5-year-old boy from speeding down a slope into traffic in southern China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Baise in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on September 16 shows a 5-year-old boy sitting on a skateboard sliding down an around 80-metre-long slope at a fast speed.

A 17-year-old boy named Ran Qinrui walking past the area used his own body to stop the boy.

According to reports, Ran was a student at Longlin Vocational Technical Secondary School. He witnessed the incident when he was on his way back to school.

Thanks to Ran, the boy did not slide into a busy road.

9月16日，广西百色，隆林各族自治县职业技术学校门口发生惊险一幕，一名5岁男童坐滑板顺坡而下，速度飞快，而斜坡的尽头便是大马路。紧要关头，一名从校外回来的学生奋不顾身俯下将其抱住，救下男童。在巨大惯性的作用下，少年受到冲击摔倒在地，不过他立即起身把男童拦下。男童起身后，抱着滑板离开，同伴纷纷上前查看男生的情况。
经过了解，救人的男生叫冉钦瑞，是2022级学生，17岁。当时他刚好从外面买东西回学校，在危急关头用身体把男童和滑板挡了下来。该段坡路从学校篮球场经过校门，一直延伸到校外的大马路，坡长约80米，男童下滑时速度较快，而大马路上车来人往，一旦冲下去后果难料。
19日，冉钦瑞所在学校对冉钦瑞同学和其他四位协助同学进行表彰，颁发证书和奖金。广西隆林各族自治县公安局交通警察大队为冉钦瑞颁发了“见义勇为好少年”证书。颁奖现场，被救男童的爷爷奶奶也拿锦旗向冉钦瑞致谢。（视频由广西台提供）
