A young boy’s quick thinking and courage have won the hearts of many after he saved his aunt who got trapped in a lift.
The boy’s mother recently shared a video on TikTok showing the tense moment when her sister, Kina, got stuck in the elevator.
Elevator doors suddenly closed
Kina was returning home with her nephew, Iman, when the lift malfunctioned. As Iman stepped out, the elevator doors suddenly closed, trapping Kina inside.
In the video, Kina can be seen stuck in the elevator while Iman, panicked but determined, ran around calling for help.
His cries for assistance caught the attention of nearby residents. Despite his fear, Iman did not give up.
He managed to calm himself and tried to ask Kina to press the emergency button inside the lift to seek for help.
Despite Kina has been pressing the emergency button for nearly five minutes, no one came to her aid in the moment.
Block the doors with lunchbox
According to Iman’s mother, Kina and Iman had reached their floor when the doors malfunctioned.
Kina was injured as the doors closed on her, causing bruises and a cut on her fingers. Fortunately, she managed to use her lunchbox to block the doors, preventing more severe injuries.
The video shows the elevator door being wedged open slightly by the lunchbox, allowing Kina to see Iman’s efforts to get help.
Rescued after 1 hour
Iman’s mother received a distress call from Kina while on her way home from work.
Upon arrival, Iman’s mother found that the fire department had been alerted and arrived within 10 minutes of the call, successfully rescuing Kina.
She explained that it took almost an hour for a management staff member to arrive, even after the fire brigade had come.
She claims that although the staff acknowledged hearing the bell, they took no action.
The TikTok video has garnered over 2.2 million views, 150,000 likes, and 2,400 comments within just 15 hours of being posted.
Many netizens have praised Iman for his intelligence and bravery in seeking help and shouting for assistance.
