A man in Kazakhstan was praised for his heroism after a video resurfaced from last year that showed him climbing out of a multi-story building’s window and rescuing a child who was dangling from a glass panel.
The daring rescue reportedly happened on the outside of a building in Kazakhstan in May last year.
Bystanders recorded video purportedly showing the child clinging to an open glass window after having apparently climbed out of the building. The child appeared to be about eight floors above the ground.
A man can be seen climbing out of a window below the child and perching on the glass panel without any rope or safety harness.

He then grabs the child’s leg and pulls him into his arms before passing the child to someone inside the building.
It was unclear whether anyone was injured during the incident.
Kazakhstan is a former Soviet republic and shares a border with both Russia and China.
