Toddler Saved From Ledge in Canberra Road

 


A video capturing a tense incident on October 20 went viral on social media, showing a young boy standing on the narrow ledge outside the window of a residential unit. The boy, dressed in pyjamas, stood motionless, staring ahead, while concerned onlookers gathered on the ground floor, holding a blanket in case he fell.

In the video, a man is seen carefully approaching the boy, placing his hands against the wall for support as he walked along the ledge. Once he reached the toddler, he safely picked him up and returned him to the flat through an open window.

An eyewitness who posted about the event on Facebook said several residents attempted to knock on the boy’s door, but received no response. The man who rescued the child later discovered that an adult was inside the apartment, despite no one answering the door.

According to a response from the Singapore police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), they were notified of the situation at Block 350C Canberra Road at around 11:50 a.m. on the day of the incident. The three-year-old boy had been brought to safety by a member of the public before officers arrived on the scene.

A 25-year-old woman is currently assisting authorities with investigations into possible negligence regarding the incident.

As a precaution, the toddler was taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital for assessment. The SCDF also stated that they plan to commend the public members who assisted in the rescue for their quick-thinking and public-spirited actions.

Kudos to the brave man who saved the toddler and to all those who opened the blanket to catch the boy if he fell. Faith in humanity is restored!
