A heroic man climbed barehanded onto the second floor of a building to rescue a three-year-old boy hanging from a window ledge in southern China.

The video, filmed in the city of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province on May 25, shows two people inside the second-floor flat trying to lift up a boy who got trapped in the window bars and left hanging outside.

Since they cannot free the boy by pulling him up, a deliveryman driving past the place then started climbing onto the external wall of the building to approach the boy, then pushing him up from the bottom.

With the help of the deliveryman, the boy was brought back to safety.
