London, June 19: A Chinese man dangled his terrified three-year-old daughter out of a sixth-floor window after having a heated argument with her mother.

The scary drama unfolded in Guangzhou, capital of southern China’s Guangdong province, just days after the family had moved into the flat.

Neighbours said that the man opened the window at about 10.30am, and then calmly sat on the edge while dangling his toddler daughter from the window of his sixth-floor apartment.

He would occasionally support her with his foot, but for most of the time he held onto her by just one arm. The mother could be heard shouting from inside the apartment, the Daily Mail reported.

Neighbours called the emergency services and, when they arrived, firefighters quickly set up an air cushion below.

Meanwhile, police entered the apartment to reason with the man, who was allegedly under the influence of drugs.

During their negotiations they suddenly rushed the offender and were able to pull the little girl to safety. (ANI)
