A heart-stopping incident in Thane, Maharashtra, has captured the attention of viewers worldwide after a video of the miraculous rescue went viral. The footage, though dated unclear, has triggered emotional responses from netizens, many of whom have expressed their admiration for the man who saved the toddler’s life, with comments like “This is what it means to have angels on Earth.”
The harrowing event occurred in the Dombivli area of Thane, where a two-year-old toddler fell from the 13th floor of an apartment building. Miraculously, the child survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the quick thinking of a local resident, Bhavesh Mhatre. Despite the height of the fall, Mhatre’s swift action helped reduce the severity of the impact and likely saved her life.
Eyewitnesses reported that the child had been playing on the balcony when she slipped and hung precariously for some time before eventually falling. Bhavesh Mhatre, who had been in the vicinity, rushed to the scene. Although he was unable to completely catch the child, his timely intervention slowed her descent enough to ensure a safer landing.
Describing his heroic act, Mhatre said, “I was determined to save her life. I didn’t think twice and just ran toward her. There is no greater religion than courage and humanity.” His actions have been widely praised, and social media has hailed him as a hero for his selflessness and quick reflexes.
Officials have also recognized Mhatre’s bravery, with plans in place to honor him for his extraordinary act of courage.
