Two men saved a little girl hanging from a fourth storey window of a residential building Tuesday in the city of Meizhou, south China’s Guangdong Province. <br /> <br />The girl was seen hanging with her head trapped on the inside of a burglar grille while her body hung outside, crying and frantically dangling her legs in the air, according to an amateur video taken by a witness at around 11:10. <br /> <br />After hearing loud screams, two workers rushed to the source and immediately began climbing onto the roof of a three-storey building besides the residential building. One of them climbed over the handrails, walked towards the window where the girl was then held her up, relieving pressure. <br /> <br />The second man climbed over the handrails, made his way towards the other two and began to cut off the burglar grille with a pair of pliers. <br /> <br />A witness surnamed Liu, at the same time, fetched a big quilt from his home, asking three other people to unfold it. <br /> <br />In case she fell off, she wouldn't fall to the ground, said Liu. <br /> <br />After half an hour's effort, the girl was freed from the window. She was confirmed safe and sound. <br /> <br />The two men have been hailed heroes after video of the rescue circulated online. <br /> <br />"Everyone will do this. It’s not a big deal,” said Zhong, a rescuer. <br /> <br />The girl's mother reportedly had gone out for work when the incident happened, and the girl locked herself in the room.
