The incredible moment was captured on video and released this week by Egypt’s Interior Ministry. The video shows three policemen on duty guarding a bank and standing on a sidewalk. They then look up and apparently see the child dangling from the balcony.

The officers quickly sprung into action, trying to set up a safety net but he fell before they were done. Thankfully, one policeman was fast enough and caught him in his arms before he hit the ground.

The ministry said in a statement that the child was unharmed but one of the policemen was injured and was sent to a nearby hospital for treatment. The policeman has been hailed as “heroic” for his quick reaction.
