The CCTV visual of a man rescuing a man who was about to fall of a building has lit up social media. In the video, two men are seen standing in the corridor of a building. Both of them have their backs rested against a mid-high parapet. All of a sudden, one of the men, his arms crossed under his chest seems to lean back. He is about to fall of the ledge backwards when the alert man beside him grabs on to his leg. Soon, several others, including a policeman, gather to pull the man back to safety.
