Indiana passerby rescues five children from burning home, including baby

An Indiana man who was driving by a burning house sprung into action and rescued five people trapped inside before first responders had the chance.

Nick Bostic, 25, entered a Lafayette house in the early morning hours of July 11 and saved four occupants before going upstairs to grab a 6-year-old girl, according to The Lafayette Journal & Courier.

The heroic passerby then reportedly jumped out of a second-floor window while cradling the child to escape the fully involved fire.

Police body cam video captured the moment a cop took the crying girl from the wheezing man’s arms.

“I need oxygen!” Bostic said as he sat on the curb.

An officer then helped Bostic get up and took him to the other side of the street where a tourniquet was applied to his bleeding right arm.
