A firefighter saved a suicidal man and his 2-year-old baby from certain death — by kicking him back into his apartment.

A daring rescuer kicked a man back into his apartment as he threatened to jump from a fifth-floor window with a toddler in his arms.

The harrowing scene was caught on camera by a Chinese news crew.

The man is on such a high floor that death is almost a certainty.

Firefighters arrived at the apartment building in Xining Tuesday afternoon to find the man sitting on his bedroom windowsill with a two-year-old child in his arms.

He was distraught over a fight with his wife and planned to commit suicide, according to LiveLeak’s translation of a local news report.

The man climbs out the window, a threat to himself and his toddler.

Rescuers inflated a cushion on the ground below them, but it was unnecessary.

A firefighter jumped down from the sixth floor, holding onto a safety rope, and kicked the man and the baby back into the apartment with both feet.
