According to onlookers, the child was left unattended by his parents.
The child had fallen from the side of an escalator and landed on a small platform with its head dangling 20 feet above the ground. The boy got his feet jammed between the side of the escalator and a glass panel.
Onlookers can be heard shouting and panicking in the footage.
Upon seeing the child hanging over the edge, a man in a grey shirt climbed over a barrier and balanced on a small ledge measuring some four inches (10 centimetres) wide.
And the man several attempts to try and grab hold of the child.
An onlooker grabs the back of his shirt for extra security.
