A terrified onlooker has filmed the moment a toddler became trapped on the opposite side of the balcony railings on a high-rise building.

Joined by a crowd of screaming people, the child can be seen struggling to get back to safety.

Below him on the ground, a man can even be seen moving into a position directly beneath the small child - just in case the worst should happen.

Thankfully, finally, two people arrive on the balcony and pluck the little boy into the apartment and to safety - causing everyone watching below to erupt into cheers.

The tension finally dissolved, a few people can even be heard laughing with relief.

Watch the nail-biting video for yourself:

Thank goodness the little one is safe now - although we can't help but wonder how he came to find himself in such a dangerous predicament.
