“A delivery man in Vietnam is being hailed as a hero after he saved a little girl as she fell from a balcony of a high-rise in Hanoi”, the article titled “Girl, 2, survives fall from 12th storey balcony thanks to ‘hero’ delivery driver” starts.

Nguyen Ngoc Manh was described by Independent as a delivery professional who runs a packing service in Hanoi. As he heard a baby’s bawling while sitting in his car waiting for the delivery, Manh immediately plunged out of the car and found ways to climb into the nearby building.

“I mounted on a 2-meter-high tile roof to seek a proper position to get the girl”, Manh was quoted.

Although Mr Manh positioned himself to catch the baby and prevent her from falling on the ground, he says it was incidental that she fell on his lap, Independent reported.

The prestigious news outlet also quoted Manh’s saying “Everything happened within a minute. I didn’t understand how I could scale the roof that quickly. I couldn’t believe I saved the girl’s life.”

The girl, according to the report, has a broken arm and leg but is stable, while the delivery executive also suffered a sprain. On March 1 morning, doctors at National Children’s Hospital, where the girl was admitted, said she dislocated her hip after the incident, but suffered no other anomalies.

At the last part of the article, Stuti Mishra, the journalist behind the article dedicates three paragraph to report on how Vietnamese people react to Manh’s heroic act.

“The residents of the society who witnessed and recorded his heroic act have praised him. Mr Manh has also become a hero in the country overnight with his photograph being circulated online”, Independent wrote.

It notes that Manh disliked his new moniker as a hero which was given by Vietnamese netizens.
