Watch: Kerala man heroically catches his younger brother who fell from terrace
Chandigarh, August 7
A young man in Kerala escaped without serious injuries after falling from the terrace, thanks to his older brother.
The incident happened in Kerala’s Malappuram. The man had a narrow escape when he suddenly fell down from the terrace while cleaning it. However, his elder brother, who was luckily downstairs, caught him before he hit the ground. The man’s quick reflexes saved the brother and got a huge round of applause from netizens.
CCTV footage shows the moment when younger brother, identified as Shafiq, lost his balance and slipped while cleaning the terrace. His brother Sadiq, who was using a hose to spray water onto the terrace, was seen springing into action the moment he realised what was happening. Sadiq threw the hose away and stretched his arms out to break his brother’s fall.
The video shows both of them tumbling to the ground by the force of the impact. While the older brother gets up almost immediately, the younger one was seen clutching his upper arm, which was apparently hurt in the incident.
