The incident occurred in Nur Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan. The 3-year-old boy, who learned that his mother was not at home, hung on the window at a height of about 80 meters. A person who saw that the child was hanging over the screams, came out of the window of the apartment downstairs and pulled the little boy into the apartment. “At that moment, I did not think of anything, I just wanted to help the child” Sabit Shontakbaev was awarded a medal by Deputy Minister of Emergency Situations Ibrahim Kulshimbayev.
HANGED IN THE WINDOW
A 3-year-old boy, who was hanging on the 8th floor of a building in Nur Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan, at a window about 80 meters above the ground, returned from death. While he was going to work with his friend, 37-year-old Sabit Shontakbaev, who saw the little boy hanging in the window after the screams of the people around him, risked his life and went out of the window of the downstairs apartment and pulled the little boy into the apartment. The moments when the little boy was rescued were recorded moment by moment by the people around.
CHILD LEALED AT HOME
It was stated that the child’s mother left the house for shopping and was alone, while the child piled pillows and soft toys under the window and then went outside the window.
“I DID NOT THINK ABOUT ANYTHING AT THAT MOMENT…”
“We noticed that people were gathering, and I immediately looked up and saw a girl hanging from the eighth floor,” Shontakbaev said, adding that he immediately went up to the 7th floor of the building. “We knocked on the door, and fortunately they immediately opened the door,” Shontakbaev said.
Stating that he went to work after rescuing the child, Shontakbaev said, “I haven’t even seen his family. Afterwards, I went straight to work with my friend,” he said, “I saved the child and left. In the news and on social networks, they suddenly began to call me a hero. I don’t see my actions as heroic. In my opinion, everyone should lend a helping hand in situations like these.”
AWARDED WITH A MEDAL
Shontakbaev was awarded a medal by Deputy Minister of Emergency Situations Ibrahim Kulshimbayev, and congratulated by Nur Sultan Mayor Altay Kulginov.
