A heroic man lowered down a building to rescue a child trapped in a security net in southern China.

The video was filmed in Foshan City in Guangdong Province on June 18. A man named Li tied a fire hose to his body and climbed down from the 7th floor outside a building to lift a child to safety.

According to reports, the rescuer, Mr. Li, is a full-time chauffeur in his 90s.

Li stated that the incident occurred around 6:00 in the morning. He noticed the child stuck in the security net when he was on his way back home after a night shift.

The child was on the 6th floor, and since the door couldn't be opened, people went up to the 7th floor and lowered Li down to save the toddler.

Mr. Li said that several other kind-hearted people joined in the rescue as well.

After the toddler was saved, all rescuers stayed until the child's family returned before leaving.

Local community workers said that the parents were out when the incident occurred. They only discovered the accident upon returning.

The video was provided by local media with permission.
