While most people would just freeze, this man took action.

A young Chinese man was unable to prevent a woman from losing her life in Enchi City in central China’s Hubei Province, but is being hailed as a hero regardless.

The man, identified as Mr. Feng, heard her screams from the 11th floor of a residential building and ran out of a nearby restaurant.

He put out his arms to catch but, unfortunately, was unable to save her life. He was knocked out by the impact and suffered a number of injuries.

“He was knocked out by the impact and suffered injuries on his knee joints, and had a tibial plateau fracture. His anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and the medial ligament have been dislocated,” said Li Yanbing, doctor of spinal surgery department, Enshi Central Hospital.
