A three-year-old was caught by two strangers after falling from a fourth floor window in New York City.
Two brothers, Julio Gonzalez and Pedro Navarez, spotted the toddler hanging from the fire escape of an apartment building.
Navarez, 39, told CBS 2 News he was able to get beneath the child to break his fall. The boy bounced off him and into the arms of his brother, he said.
The baby suffered minor cuts and bruises and is being treated in hospital. Police are investigating the incident.
The brothers, who are being hailed as heroes, weren't injured.
