No hesitation: Dipto rescuing the boy from a third-floor window ledge in Hougang Street 22 with a boom lift. — The Straits Times/ANN
When Das Dipto arrived for work at Block 244 Hougang Street 22 on Sunday at 7.35am, the landscape maintenance worker did not expect to be involved in “the best job I’ve done in my life”.
The 27-year-old was there to prune trees but ended up rescuing a child, age six, who had been stuck on a window ledge barely wide enough for his feet.
