A CCTV camera caught a man successfully catching a one-year-old boy after the child fell from an apartment building during a heavy rainstorm in China's Guangdong Province.

Reuters reports that the child may have escaped through a window in his second-story home while looking for his mother.

Two local men, referred to only as Mr. Li and Mr. Hu, were close by and rushed to the child's assistance. The surveillance footage shows the men frantically anticipating the fall with their arms out, barely catching the small child as he fell in the rain.

“I didn’t think too much at the time. I was just afraid of failing to catch him. Some people put down cardboard to avoid serious injuries to the baby if I failed to catch him,” Li said in an interview with Reuters.

“It was nothing but human instinct to do so," Hu added.

We can all share a collective sigh of relief.
