Footage of firefighters rescuing an elderly woman who got stuck in a security net outside the third floor of a building in China.

The video, filmed in Nantong, Jiangsu Province on Tuesday, shows a firefighter abseiling from the floor above to rescue the woman.

According to local reports, she mistook the balcony window for the toilet door and walked out of it.
