[VIDEO] Heroic Foreign Worker Climbs Up Building To Save A 3-Year-Old Girl's Life

A toddler whose head was stuck between the rails of an external clothes-drying rack on the second floor of a Housing Board block in Singapore, was saved by the heroic act of a foreign worker who quickly pulled himself up onto the ledge, The Star Online reported

The incident happened on Thursday, 23 April. A passer-by who first saw the toddler in that precarious position shouted for help. Two men tried to heave themselves up on the ledge but failed.
