According to Gulf News report, the child’s luck was also good. While falling, he first hit the clothes drying rope, due to which his speed decreased slightly. This gap of one second gave Ahmed a chance to reach the child.

After saving the child, Ahmed himself became so nervous that he sat on a mattress lying on the roadside. Due to tension he remained sitting there for some time. As soon as the video of this incident surfaced, Ahmed has become a hero on social media. Users are praising his agility and courage. Ahmed said that he did not do all this to get praise. A child was falling in front, so it was my responsibility to save him. He also said that this incident is a lesson for all parents to never leave children alone in the balcony and keep a constant eye on them.
