He blacked out after suffering an unexplained medical episode but was saved by bystanders who sprang into action. A quick-thinking man managed to save Binu’s life by grabbing his foot as he went over.

Others queuing on the balcony can be seen rushing to the aid of the unconscious man, eventually pulling him back to safety.
