This is the heart-stopping moment an 11-year-old boy falls from the third floor of a building, only to have his fall broken by a nearby friend by accident, leaving both unhurt.

The stunning incident occurred in Pusad in Maharashtra, India, on November 11 and was caught on a nearby CCTV camera.

A group of boys were playing on a street when their kite got stuck on the third floor balcony of a building. Swapnil Zagre, 11, went up the building and managed to free the kite, which fell to the ground.
