One of the rescuers – who was named as Ms Yang – told local media that she was passing by while shopping for food.

Ms Yang recalled that as she was walking towards the shops, she saw the person seemingly hanging from the window of a tall building.
She explained: ‘Because the window opening was very small, we couldn’t pull the old man up.’
According to Ms Yang, the old man was still conscious at the time, but he kept groaning and couldn’t speak.
After the police and firefighters arrived at the scene, his daughter also rushed home to thank the rescuers.
