‘Instinctive’ woman grabs terrified youngster as she lies stunned on awning after plunge, other residents, rescue crews pull child to safety
A four-year-old girl miraculously survived a 20-storey fall from a residential building thanks to a heroic neighbour six floors below who grabbed her before pulling her to safety.
On September 16, Wu Yumei, a mother of two living on the 14th floor of a residential block in Lengshuijiang, Loudi, Hunan province in central China, was preparing dinner when she suddenly heard a loud noise outside her window.
Wu discovered a young girl, estimated to be four years old, trapped on the 13th floor awning below.
The child had reportedly climbed out of an anti-theft window on the 20th floor and lost her footing.
