Surveillance footage showed the boy’s mother, Tila Levi, turning her back on the 11-month-old baby, before nine-year-old Joseph Levi dashed to the rescue just as the 30-pound infant fell to the ground in their Bal Harbour, Florida home.
As the 11-month-old tumbled towards the floor and flipped over several times in the air, his brother, Levi, prevented him from crashing to the ground as he moved swiftly and outstretched his arms.
Joseph managed to catch his brother – a heroic act Tila says saved the baby’s life.
