Uzbek janitor in St. Petersburg catches boy who fell from seventh floor
On February 22, a janitor in St. Petersburg saved a six-year-old boy who fell from a seventh-floor window of a residential building. RIA Novosti reported the incident, citing emergency services.
According to the agency, the tragedy was averted thanks to the man’s quick reaction — he managed to catch the child and soften the impact with his own body. After being examined, the boy was hospitalized with injuries.
The rescuer turned out to be a labor migrant from Uzbekistan named Khayrullo. Witnesses said that after noticing the child falling, he ran into the courtyard, positioned himself beneath the windows, and managed to catch the boy.
According to the Telegram channel Mash, the man himself sustained injuries and may have suffered broken ribs and an arm injury. His exact condition has not yet been officially confirmed.
It was later reported that the boy’s mother was at home at the time of the incident but was in another room. The apartment windows were not equipped with special safety locks.
A neighbor was the first to raise the alarm after noticing the child in an open window and calling for help. The janitor held the boy tightly to cushion the fall and then carried him to the building’s concierge. By that time, an ambulance had already arrived at the scene.
