THIS is the heart-stopping moment a boy was rescued after a fall from high-rise apartment left him wedged behind a seventh-floor airconditioner.

Incredibly, the three-year-old's fall from the eighth floor was broken by the airconditioning unit, which left him trapped and dangling seven floors from the ground.



Hearing his desperate screams and seeing him start to slip, residents of the Beijing apartment block staged a daring rescue to free the trapped child.



The Daily Mailreports the boy's saviours, Mr Wang and Mr Zhou, risked their lives to grab the boy's arm in the nick of time.



A passing witness told the Daily Mail he suddenly heard screaming and when he looked up he saw "a kid was stuck behind an airconditioner while his legs were dangling in the air".
