This is definitely not something you see everyday!

A nine-year-old legend from Florida has been labelled a real-life hero after catching his baby brother, who fell from a changing table.

Surveillance footage shows their mother, Tila Levi, placing the baby on the change table. The second she turns her back to tend to her four other children, the 11-month-old infant rolls off the edge.

The moment Joseph catches his baby brother.

Joseph Levi, 9, was watching his baby brother at the time and dove onto the floor, catching his baby sibling.

Joseph modestly brushed off his quick-thinking behaviour to 7News Miami: “I would have never caught him, and I can’t run that fast, so I felt like something came and just pushed me forward and when that happened, I just ran and caught him.”

A gentle reminder that not all heroes wear capes.

The 69-year-old mother of four babies who were found dead in a freezer in the US city of Boston will not face criminal charges. District attorney Kevin Hayden called the investigation "one of the most complex, unusual and perplexing that this office has ever encountered". Investigators don't know whether the four babies - thought to be 37 to 40 weeks old - were born alive, which was part of the reason not to bring criminal charges, Mr Hayden said.
