Toddler hangs off balcony by his neck

LOCALS were shocked in China's Guangzhou province when this toddler was spotted hanging 12 metres off the side of a building.

The youngster appeared to have slipped on the balcony and got his head stuck in the railing - which ended up saving his life.

As a crowd gathered below, holding out a yellow blanket in case he fell, a neighbour shimmied along the outside wall to support the child’s feet until we was able to pull himself back up through the railing.
