A hero was hoisted 30ft in the air on a crane hook to free a trapped bird.

The man was seen dangling high from the jib.

He then carefully reached over to try and cut through the wires with a sharp tool.

The bird, thought to be a pigeon, was seen desperately flapping while the brave rescuer worked to release it, as reported by Need To Know.

Once freed, the bird flew away while the hero was lowered to safety.

It happened in Amritsar, Punjab, India.

The rescue drew comparisons to another cute rescue last June in Manipur, India where a man risked his life to save a puppy from floodwaters.

Both incidents have been celebrated as examples of selfless humanity and compassion.
