Girl Hanging From Window Saved By Man With Broom

A man has saved a young girl he spotted hanging from the window bars of an apartment in China.

Wang Baoping was walking when he heard the girl screaming for help from a fourth-floor window of the building, according to reports.

Mr Wang sprang into action, climbing through a nearby window and using as mop to support the child for almost 20 minutes to make sure she did not fall.

Video of the incident shows him hanging out of the window until the girl's parents were able to pull her back inside.

The girl was shaken but unharmed by the incident, which happened in the province of Shandong.

One resident told China Central Television: "I think his brave and courageous actions are worthy of praise."
