Neighbours and firefighters rescue girl trapped in 12th-floor window bars
A three-year-old girl was rescued after climbing out of a 12th-floor apartment window in Fujian, China, and becoming trapped by her head in the safety bars. Neighbours and a police officer supported her with a chair until firefighters cut through the bars and freed her.
The child was taken to hospital as a precaution and was unharmed. Her mother had reportedly left her asleep while she went to buy groceries. The incident comes weeks after two men rescued a five-year-old hanging from a sixth-floor window grille in another part of China.

In many Chinese apartment blocks, windows have metal safety bars to help prevent falls. Young children can still climb through open windows or get caught in the bars, so supervision and window safety are important in high-rise homes.
Neighbours, police officers and firefighters can all be involved in a rescue: people nearby may help support someone while emergency crews bring tools to free them. Similar incidents have been reported in China, raising wider questions about how to keep children safe around high windows and grilles.
