When a Portugese soccer fan leant out of a window to complain about the noise upstairs, he happened to save a falling woman from death. Orlando Fonseca, 29, was watching television when he was disturbed by his neighbor, Kim Koeon, who was shouting and throwing books and clothing from her third floor window.
When Fonseca lent out his window to complain, Koeon was was falling head first from her apartment window. Fonesca caught Koeon by her legs and pulled her in to his apartment. Koeon suffered only minor scratches.
"I was watching my team play Iran in the World Cup," said Fonseca, of Wandsworth, south-west London. "Upstairs the woman was shouting and dancing and just making lots and lots of noise. "I leant out of the bedroom window and there was a gang of people watching her in the window. She was dancing away on the window sill. Next the glass smashed and she fell. I caught her with my arm and pulled her in.
"She was not heavy but you can see a big bruise on my arm. She said 'sorry' to me but was still smiling."
