The child survives from the 12-story balcony thanks to the “Hero” delivery driver

A delivery driver from Vietnam is named a hero after he miraculously caught a small child who fell from a balcony on the 12th floor.

Nguyen Ngoc Manh, 31, was parked his truck waiting for a package to be delivered to a high-rise complex in Hanoi on Sunday when he heard a child crying and a woman screaming over his head. He told the Anninhthudo news organization, according to the Evening Standard, that he initially got rid of the agitation as just a child with anger.

But when Manh noticed that the people in the street were panicking and shouting, he rolled out the window and looked up. To his horror, he saw a 16-meter-tall girl hanging in the air, VN Express International reported.

The moment of stopping the heart was captured on video and distributed on social networks.

Manh, a father himself, immediately jumped out of his truck. Trying to identify where the girl could land, she climbed a 6-foot wall between the place where she was stopped and the apartment complex.

“I climbed the wall and saw that it could fall on the metal roof of the house used to store electric generators for the complex, so I tried to climb on top,” Manh told VN Express. “I did it, but I couldn’t stand it because the roof was crooked.”

As the girl lost her grip on the balcony railing and fell, Manh slipped. But he threw himself forward and, surprisingly, caught the little one.

He wasn’t crying, he said, but blood was flowing from his mouth.

“She looked so much like my baby at home. I was so confused, I could only say, “Please, please, I’m here now,” Manh told VN Express International.

The girl was taken to a hospital, where doctors treated her for a dislocated hip, but said she had no other injuries. Manh squeezed her arm, catching her.

Many on social media have hailed Manh as a hero, but he told VN Express he didn’t care about etiquette. He said he just wanted to “do well.”

He told Anninhthudo that he did not feel any comfort in his life-saving effort until he returned home to hug his own daughter, who is about the same age as the girl he saved, according to Evening Standard. .
