Moments of terror, but which in the end were translated into emotion and happiness. Such is the event that occurred in Bogota, Colombia. A two-year-old child who happened to be on the doorstep of a fourth-floor window of an apartment building slipped and fell from the building.

But fortunately, shortly before the tragic moment, several residents of the area had come together and settled below the premises of the building, in the same direction as the fourth floor where the child was, setting up a "safety net" with blankets and clothes.

Footage is circulating online, showing the moment the child suddenly slips from the spot he was trying to hold on to. Fortunately, residents managed to save him by waiting for him.

 

#AWESOME. A child of barely two years was rescued by neighbors of the b/La Gaitana, in Suba (Bogotá), after being suspended from the facade of a fourth floor. Los residents reacted quickly improvising una red con cobijas y chaquetas before amortiguar la caída del pequeño.… pic.twitter.com/RSU7s2jiEK
