Boy dodges death as he falls from balcony and lands unhurt onto passing rickshaw

A young boy has cheated death after falling two floors off a balcony and miraculously landing on a moving rickshaw.

Little Parv Jain, three, was playing on the balcony of their second-floor home in Tikamgarh, central India, when he suddenly lost his balance and fell, his father Ashish Jain told The Hindu

CCTV from nearby shops shows the miracle save when Parv plunged 35 feet and crash landed onto the seat of a passing rickshaw.

Manohar Bhatt, the rickshaw puller, appeared shocked when he looked back to find a boy after falling onto the seat as he drove past the busy market area of Pradhanpura.

Passersby rushed to his aid and lifted the boy out of the rickshaw.

A woman is seen wrapping the boy around her arms before she calls for help.

The bizarre incident took place at around 5pm on Friday and the video has gone viral since it was posted on social media.

Little Parv was taken to hospital for a checkup and was told he had escaped without injury.

Ashish said: "Parv landed on the seat of the rickshaw. It was a miracle!

"Bhatt is an angel for our family.

"Later, we took Parv to hospital where the doctors examined him. He did not suffer any injury."
