"I held out the blanket along with others, all the while keeping my eyes on the child," Zhu Yanhui told China Central Television. "I looked at the blanket wondering whether we could catch him safely."
Thankfully, they did. The toddler soon lost his grip and fell, landing in the blanket, CNN reported. He was not hurt, authorities said.
