Five-Year-Old Saved From Falling To The Ground After Getting Caught Behind Air Conditioner.

A five-year-old boy who fell from a fourth floor window was saved when he became wedged behind an air conditioning unit.

The boy was rescued by neighbours after getting stuck against the wall in the city of Shishi, in Fujian Province, China.

Wang Zhicheng left his son Wenbo asleep at home on his own to go to the shop. But Wenbo woke up whilst his father was still out and opened a window before falling out.
Luckily for him, he was stopped from plunging to the ground by getting stuck between the air conditioning unit just below the window and the wall.

A neighbour who first saw the boy said: 'Suddenly I heard loud baby cries. Looking out I was terrified to see a boy was struggling in the air, with his head stuck behind the air conditioner.'

Five neighbours rushed up to the boy's flat and broke in. One said: 'I grabbed the boy's head, preventing him from slipping down further.'

Meanwhile, the other three broke into the flat below so that they could lean out the window and support the boy's weight. The boy was eventually rescued 40 minutes later.
