Police arrived at the scene at Block 243 Hougang Street 22 after the six-year-old boy was rescued. The child was reportedly home alone when he climbed out of the third story kitchen window. 

A video of Das making his way towards the boy via the boom lift and carrying the child to safety was circulating online. The clip ended with the sound of cheers from onlookers in the background.
