Teen catches toddler falling from second floor

A 17-year-old caught a two-year-old girl after she fell from a second floor window in Istanbul.

Algerian Feuzi Zabaat, was hailed a hero for catching Syrian toddler Doha Muhammed after she stumbled out of an open second floor window while her mother was cooking.

Luckily, Mr Zabaat saw her from the street and was able to catch her without her suffering any injuries.

Her rescuer said he did what he had to do to save the girl: "I did what was necessary for the love of Allah."

Doha's family hailed Mr Zabaat as a hero and gave him a gift of 200 Turkish Liras (£40) to show their gratitude.
