A terrified nine-year-old boy has had a miracle escape from a blazing fire after bravely climbing out of his home - 80ft above the ground.
He clambered on to an external air conditioner unit as the inferno ravaged his family's flat in Russia.
The petrified child, named Denis, was heard pleading in anguish "mama help me" - but she was not at home.
A resident of the block, who witnessed the drama, said: “His screams broke my heart.”
The youngster was home alone after school in Samara city when the flames tore through his eight floor apartment.
Unable to let himself out of the flat’s outer door, and choking from smoke, he climbed onto one of two air conditioner units, the one furthest from the flames.
