A young man in Kerala escaped without serious injuries after falling from the terrace, thanks to his older brother. Sadiq caught his brother moments before he hit the ground after falling from the terrace of their house, thereby saving him from grievous hurt.
CCTV footage shows the moment that Shafiq lost his balance and slipped while cleaning the terrace. His brother Sadiq, who was using a hose to spray water onto the terrace, was seen springing into action the moment he realised what was happening. Sadiq threw the hose away and stretched his arms out to break his brother’s fall.
The video shows both of them tumbling to the ground by the force of the impact. While the older brother gets up almost immediately, the younger one was seen clutching his upper arm, which was apparently hurt in the incident.
