Scary catch: policeman saves falling child

Three Egyptian police officers on routine duty saved a five-year-old from serious injury in an arresting catch as the boy fell from a third floor balcony.

The officers were guarding a bank in the southern Egyptian province of Assiut last Saturday (February 17) when a woman passer-by alerted them to the child's predicament as he hung off the balcony.

As the policemen tried to fashion a makeshift safety net out of a rolled-up carpet the boy tumbled, but one officer was quick enough to allow him to catch the boy in his arms. The child was unharmed.
