A 37-year-old banker from Turin is being hailed a hero after miraculously catching an Italian toddler who fell from her family’s fifth floor balcony on Saturday.
Mattia Aguzzi said he and his girlfriend were walking to a bread shop in central Turin, Italy just before 11 a.m. local time, when he heard a man yelling for help from an upper floor apartment. “I went out with my girlfriend to buy bread and we heard screams from a building that caught our attention,” he told CNN affiliate Sky24, speaking outside the hospital where he was treated for minor injuries. “I heard a man scream when he saw the little girl leaning out on the ledge.
“The actions of Mattia Aguzzi, our fellow citizen who this morning, catching [the girl] on the fly, saved the life of the little girl who fell from the fifth floor, is a heroic and extraordinary gesture,” Lo Russo wrote in a Facebook post. Parliamentarian Camilla Laureti also said she hoped he would be given a national medal.
