A quick-thinking female employee saved a baby from falling down stairs in a shop in central China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Wuhan in Hubei Province on March 13 shows a 1-year-old girl in a baby walker trailing behind a female employee until they reached a stairway.

As the employee started to descend the stairs, the girl attempted to follow and was at risk of falling down.

Luckily, the baby called out to the employee, who quickly rushed up to catch her just in time.

According to reports, the toddler's mother named Liu was busy doing her work in the shop when the incident happened.

Thankfully the girl was unharmed. The video was provided by Ms Liu.

3月13日，湖北武汉。刘女士当天在自己店里忙着干活，却疏忽了坐在学步车上一岁多的女儿。监控画面显示，宝宝挪动着学步车跟在一位店员大姐身后，一直到了楼梯口，见大姐下楼宝宝也想要跟着下去，随时有摔下去的危险。幸好宝宝叫了大姐两声，大姐发现后赶紧冲上来及时接住了快要摔倒的宝宝，所幸只是虚惊一场，宝宝安然无恙。视频由刘女士提供。
