Heartwarming footage has emerged from China of four “spider men” rescuing residents trapped on the 28th floor of skyscraper on fire.

The video, filmed in Jinan, Shandong Province on Saturday, shows thick smoke rising into the sky from the blaze on the upper floors of the building, while two men attached to ropes are rescuing people trapped inside.

According to local reports, four construction workers discovered the apartment block ablaze while they were cleaning the outside walls, and decided to help people trapped on the 28th floor, with the assistance of fire fighters.

No one was badly injured.
