Thane News: A two-year-old had a narrow escape after falling from a 13th floor apartment in Thane, neighbouring Mumbai, after a man rushed to catch the child. The child suffered only minor injuries in the incident that took place in Devichapada locality. A video of the incident shows Bhavesh Mhatre rushing to catch the child.

A witness said the child fell while playing in the balcony of her 13th floor flat. "She slipped, was hanging precariously for sometime at the edge of the balcony and then fell," she was quoted as saying by PTI. 

"There is no religion greater than courage and humanity," Mhatre said. As per a PTI report, a civic official hailed the man's act and said there were plans to felicitate him publicly.
