4yo Boy Hanging From 3rd-Floor Burglar Bars Rescued

This footage shows the moment a group of firemen find a young boy dangling by his neck from a set of burglar bars on the third floor of the block of flats where he lives.

Rescuers were called to the residential block in the county of Junan, which is in the city of Linyi in China’s eastern Shandong Province, after the child’s grandad found the boy hanging and crying outside their sitting-room window.

The grandfather later explained that he had been asleep in his room, while the boy’s parents left to run an errand, leaving the four-year-old to wander around on his own on 7th October.
