This dramatic video was captured in the Bronx by New York's CBS 2 when good samaritan Billy Cretan heard screams coming from a burning building and rushed inside to only escape from a window carrying 4-year-old Christopher Ramcharran.
When Cretan saw smoke and flames pouring from the apartment above his store his instincts took over.
"I kicked in gear, put the ladder down and I went upstairs and did the best I could," Cretan said.
Cretan climbed into the burning building through the fire escape and found 4-year-old Christopher Ramcharran choking on smoke.
"I felt his heartbeat; it was faint but all right. I made sure I protected him with the curtain 'because they were throwing glass from on top of the stairs," Cretan said, referring to the firefighters worked feverishly above.
Cretan used his body to shield the boy from smoke and flames, and carried his limp body down the fire escape.
