A group of delivery men in Ninghai, China are being hailed as heroes after catching a falling toddler Thursday night.
The delivery men first noticed the two and a half-year-old named Qiqi was hanging out on the windowsill of her parent's apartment when they heard the girl crying. As the child began to fall the men stretched out their arms to try and catch her.
The child fell with such force she injured two of the men. The Telegraph says one man walked away with an injury to the arm while another hurt his neck. Qiqi was lucky enough to survive the fall with only a cut to the face.
The BBC reports that the little girl was left home alone by her parents in order to nap. The child woke up and crawled to the open window where she then fell out.
This is the second story this week involving an unsupervised child falling from a window. On Wednesday afternoon in Brooklyn, New York the daughter of former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre caught a one-year-old boy who fell from the roof of a yogurt shop.
Cristina Torre was having coffee at a Brooklyn cupcake shop across the street from where the boy fell, ESPN reports, when bystanders noticed the little boy had climbed down from his fire escape and onto the awning of a yogurt shop below his building.
Torre went across the street to see what she could do when the toddler fell and thanks to some great hand eye coordination, she was able to catch the child.
The boy was taken to the hospital and released into protective custody. His parents have been brought up on endangerment charges.
