A 10-year-old boy in China cut the ropes of the harness of a maintenance worker because the noise was disturbing him from watching his favourite cartoon.
The man was about 80ft above the ground, using an electric drill to fit security lights on the outside of the apartment building, reported newsbite.it, quoting Metro.
The man felt his safety rope shaking and looked up to see the boy cutting the rope with a knife. He called out asking the boy to stop, but he did not.
He was left hanging on a single rope and his collegues brought him down safely after an anxiety-filled 40 minutes
The boy's dad said the child has apologised and that he has promised not to repeat such dangerous acts.
He is also considering to enroll his son for anger management therapy following the incident, the report added.
