FLORIDA — A Florida baby is safe thanks to the quick-thinking actions of his older brother.

Tila Levi left her 11-month-old son, Eitan, on his changing table for just a moment when the baby rolled over. The baby’s 9-year-old brother, Joseph Levi, sprang into action, catching his baby brother in the nick of time.

"I would have never caught him. I can't run that fast, so I felt like something just came and pushed me forward and, when it happened, I just ran and caught him," Joseph Levi said. "I would never be able to do that again because I can't carry my brother."

Tila Levi said the accident happened last month, but she was too embarrassed by the incident to post the video then. Now, she says the save was a miracle and wants to spread some positivity.

Tila Levi is the mother of five children and was in the middle of getting three of them ready for bed when the incident happened.
