Firefighter Saves Woman On 10th Floor Window Ledge With One Swift Kick

Firefighter Saves Woman From 10th Floor Plummet With One Swift KICK

Tense footage of a firefighter saving a woman from dropping from a 10th floor window ledge has gone viral.

Shot in Fortaleza, Brazil, it shows the woman perched on the edge, apparently preparing to jump as a man abseils down the building above her.

It's not often one would applaud such an action, yet he delivers a swift kick, pushing her back to safety.
