A girl got her hand trapped in the door of an elevator in central China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Enshi in Hubei Province on September 11, shows a girl carried by her mother repeatedly pressing buttons on the elevator's panel.

When the door slid open on the ground floor and the woman was stepping out with her child, the girl suddenly stretched out her hand to touch the side of the door and got her hand trapped inside.

The quick-thinking security guard of the residential complex, Mr Tan, witnessed the harrowing scene unfold on the surveillance camera. Without a moment's hesitation, he sprinted to the scene.

According to Tan, he couldn't shut the elevator door, fearing it might cause additional harm to the child. But he was also concerned that if her fingers remained trapped for an extended period, it could lead to severe injuries.

Putting his strength to the test, Tan attempted to pry the doors apart. After what felt like an eternity, a small gap appeared and the child's hand was finally freed.

Miraculously, the young girl suffered no serious harm.

9月11日，湖北恩施。一名女子抱着小女孩乘坐电梯下楼时，小女孩不停地乱按电梯按钮，女子也并没有阻止。十多秒后，电梯门到一楼后打开，女子准备出电梯，不料小女孩的手还是不安生，伸出手去摸电梯时，手顺着电梯门被夹入了缝隙无法拔出。幸好小区保安在监控里看到了这一幕，立马跑来救人。据保安谭师傅称，他从监控室看到女孩被电梯门夹手后，便飞奔跑来救人。当时不能关闭电梯门，孩子会有二次伤害，同时他也担心孩子手指被困时间长会造成严重伤害，便用力去尝试扳电梯门，扳出一点儿空隙后孩子的手终于拔了出来，所幸并无大碍。
