Six individuals in southeastern China were named Good Samaritans by local authorities for risking their lives to save a little girl who was in danger of falling from a high-rise building.
The incident unfolded on the morning of October 17 in a residential community in Zhangping, Fujian province.
According to Xinhua, a resident shared a picture of a young girl in the community’s online chat group and urged security guards to help. The girl, about three years old, was shown hanging outside the window of her 12th-floor flat, with her neck caught between the window’s wire mesh.
The crying girl was facing inwards and was gripping the wires, meaning she could fall at any moment.
