A heroic passerby with Spider-Man instincts was filmed casually scaling a Chinese building to rescue a young boy who fell out a window.
The footage from Changzhou shows the young boy crying on a second-story ledge with a man looking out the window he fell from, another two floors up.
Suddenly, a casually dressed middle-aged man starts scaling a pipe to get up to the same level as the at-risk boy.

He was seen smiling as he picked up the boy as a man and women looked down from the window from which he fell. Twitter/@SCMPNewsOnce there, he edges along a ledge — casually leaping across a gap to get to where the boy sits perilously close to the edge.
Smiling, the real-life hero picks up the youngster, tying a rope around him to help hoist him up to the window he fell from — again climbing up part of the way to make sure he got home safely.
Once the boy was hoisted safely inside, his rescuer brushed off his hands — then calmly hopped back over the ledge to climb back down the same pipe.
