A CCTV video of a mother saving her child from falling down the stairs is going viral. The video can send chills down anyone's spine.

Original shared from a Twitter account Oddly Terrifying, the video shows a mother along with her toddler coming out from the lift. The toddler who seems quite curious to explore removed her mother's hand and moves towards the stairs. As soon as the child tried to bend from the edge, he loses his balance and falls down. However, the mother runs behind the boy and luckily saves her.

The 37-second small clip has so far amassed over 680k views with netizens praising the motherly instinct. "Watch the incredible reflexes of a mom when she saves a kid from falling down the stairs," the caption of the video reads.

"Super mom to the rescue," wrote a user. "Even more terrifying, that’s not stairs, that’s a broken railing over a drop to the stairs one floor down. Her reflexes narrowly saved her kid's life. The old dude was running down to the floor below to catch the kid if the mother lost her grip," another said. "He said "I bet I could fit through that," a third user commented jokingly.
