A man in Ajman has been honoured by the police for saving a toddler's life.

Mohammed Al Arabi acted quickly after he spotted the three-year-old boy climbing onto a window frame in his neighbour's seventh-floor flat.

Police say the boy was being taken care of by his siblings and a housemaid, while his parents were out of the house.

There have been several cases of children falling to their death from apartment buildings in the UAE.
