Airport security guard hailed a hero

An airport security guard has become an unlikely hero after catching a baby falling off a counter.

The footage from Katowice-Pyrzowice airport in Poland has been posted to LiveLeak and shows what looks like the little boy’s father putting him on the counter while he adjusts his coat.

As the child starts falling, out of nowhere the security guard catches him seconds before the baby hits the floor.
