This 3-year-old boy was walking with his family in Southwest China when he stepped onto a broken manhole. The young boy spots the hole and even stops to inspect it before taking the frightening step. The toddler immediately fell into the well below.

That’s when his dad rushed into action and moved to rescue the frightened boy. The security camera footage shows the dad try to reach down and grab the child. But he is unable to reach the boy.

Thankfully, the little boy only suffered from some scrapes and bruises and is expected to recover. There’s no doubt that this dad is nothing short of a hero. He wasn’t going to let anything stand in the way of saving his son.
