A heroic delivery man in Vietnam saved a 2-year-old girl as she fell 12 stories from a balcony in Hanoi.

Nguyen Ngoc Manh, a delivery driver with a packing service in the capital city, saw a 2-year-old girl hanging from the balcony when he arrived with a package for one of the residents in the building.

“I was sitting in the car and waiting to deliver some belongings for a client in the opposite building while hearing a baby’s bawling, just thought she was yelled [at] by her mothers,” Mr. Manh said.

“However, no sooner had I heard someone screaming for help than I stuck my head out of the car, looking around, and saw a girl climbing out of the balcony,” he says. “I plunged out of the car immediately and found ways to climb into the nearby building. I mounted on a 2-meter-high tile roof to seek a proper position to get the girl.”

Mr. Manh positioned himself to catch the baby and prevent her from falling on the ground, but he says it was incidental that she fell on his lap.

“I tried to reach out my hand and took the maximum effort to catch the girl, [so] when the baby falls, I just can ward her off so that she would not fall directly to the ground. Luckily, the baby fell into my lap,” he says.

In an interview with VN Express, Mr. Manh said that “Everything happened within a minute. I didn’t understand how I could scale the roof that quickly. I couldn’t believe I saved the girl’s life.”

But the horrifying incident did not end there. As Mr. Manh immediately embraced the baby after she landed on his lap, he says blood started dripping from her mouth. He immediately rushed her to a nearby hospital.

The girl, according to the report, has a broken arm and leg but is stable. Mr. Manh also suffered a sprain.

“It’s not just changed my life… it has turned upside down. Normally my Facebook posts draw only a few dozen responses, now I get tens of thousands,” Mr. Manh said.

“I don’t see myself as a hero. I just want to do good,” he said.
