A man furious about the apparent commotion he was hearing from above his apartment leaned out his window to find himself catching his falling neighbor.

Orlando Fonseca, 29, caught his neighbor Kim Koeon, 30, who had fallen through her broken third-floor window and was clinging to the sill by her fingertips.

If he would have not caught her, she would have fallen down 40ft, landing on the concrete below, according to the Sun.

Fonseca says of the catch: "I saw this girl hanging by her fingertips. Suddenly she just let go and amazingly I was able to grab her as she went past. It all happened so quickly.

"It took no time to get her inside, but it hurt my arms a lot. She must have been in shock. She kept crying and saying she was so sorry, but then laughing."

Koeon, who is currently in the hospital, says of her hero: "This man saved my life I want to see him and thank him."
