The viral video on the micro-blogging application Twitter showed the child hanging from a building’s window by its head. The man, seeing the child, climbed the building after seeing the child in trouble.
The man grabbed hold of the legs of the little one that fainted because of exhaustion. He placed a stool under the child’s legs to save him from strangulation.
The child regained consciousness by placing a second stool under the little one’s feet. After the child did it, his parents freed their son by pulling him through the bars.
Amazing men🙏

India’s Ministry of Railways shared a heart-stopping video which showed the boy walking on the train platform with his guardian. As he walks across to the edge of the platform, the child suddenly loses balance and falls into the tracks at Vangani Railway Station in Mumbai.
The child struggles to get back up from the tracks as a fast-moving train approaching from the distance. The man took notice and started racing towards the fallen child.
He successfully lifted the boy and put him back onto the platform just seconds before being crushed to death by the train.
