“'I was sitting in the car and waiting to deliver some belongings for a client in the opposite building when I heard a child crying - I just thought that the baby had been scolded by their parents,” the driver told the local newspaper Anninhthudo.
Manh further told that he immediately jumped out of the car to find ways to climb the nearby building. Therefore, he mounted on a two-metre high tile roof to seek a proper position to save the girl.
The real ‘hero’ further told the media that he even lost his footing for a moment and had to throw himself forward to get the girl. Fortunately, she landed perfectly.
The toddler had suffered a dislocated hip and rushed to a nearby Children’s Hospital for treatment.
"When the incident happened I did not think much. Seeing the baby I immediately thought of my daughter at home and hurriedly tried to save her," said Nguyen.
The video of the incident was shared in March 2021 on social media and received a lot of applauds for the heroic act of the driver.
