Six-year-old’s ears save him from falling eight floors

A SIX-YEAR-OLD Chinese boy was saved from dropping eight storeys by his ears, which prevented his head from completely sliding between window bars outside his home.

Ming Ming from Yichang, China, is believed to have woken up alone after his grand-father left him temporarily to run an errand, and that he had fallen outside the window when he tried looking for him.

Crowds gathered after hearing the boy screaming and rescuers were able to save him.
