Video: Boy Rescues Baby Brother From Fall

A South Florida Jewish boy is being hailed a hero, after he dashed to his baby brother’s rescue as the infant fell off a changing table, which was captured on video.

From WSVN Miami:

Surveillance video from last month’s incident captures Tila Levi placing her 11-month-old son on the table at her Bal Harbour home, and then turning her back for a moment while she dealt with the rest of her five children. The infant is then seen rolling over on his stomach as his left foot dangles off the edge of the changing table.

Moments later, the infant is seen moving his left leg into empty air and falls off the edge.

At that exact same moment, the baby’s brother, 9-year-old Joseph Levi, is heard screaming as he runs into the frame, arms outstretched, and catches his nearly 30-pound younger sibling.

“I was just getting everyone ready for bed. I was home alone with the five kids, and at first I said, ‘I messed up. I did something wrong,’” said Tila, “but then I realized that, really, it was a miracle. I must have done something right to have been deserving of this little guy, running in at the right time and catching him at the right moment.”
