He could be seen holding on to the bamboo pole holders for balance.
According to the SCDF, the incident happened at around 7.50am.
Rescue
Thankfully, the kid was rescued, not by the SCDF, but a foreign worker who was nearby.
Operating his boom lift, he carefully drove between the parked cars and reached the child.
Upon safely retrieving the child onto the boom lift and bringing him down safely, the crowd watching broke into applause.
Several voices could be heard on the video commenting about how lucky it was to have the migrant worker nearby, preventing what could’ve been a heartbreaking tragedy.
