The outlet said the boy, along with a friend, performed the daring stunt by jumping over two 27-story buildings. The clip was re-shared on Twitter by OnlyBangers and shocked users.

SCMP said one of the residents of the housing association where the buildings are located immediately called property management staff after seeing the two boys perform dangerous stunts. They were brought down safely.
At the beginning of the clip, we see the two boys standing on top of the buildings. The camera zooms in and one of the boys, wearing a purple top and black pants, gets ready to jump across.
He walks up and down the ledge before jumping from one building to the next, across the gap between the two platforms.
The boy lands on the other side where another boy, dressed in an orange top and black pants, is waiting for him. The second boy looks younger.
He then moves forward to look into the hole the other boy just jumped over and turns around.
The boy in the purple top goes back to the ledge, prepares for a few seconds and jumps back to the other side. He then makes a third jump to rejoin the boy in the orange top.
The camera then zooms out to show the huge drop from top to bottom. The clip has shocked social media users.
“I wouldn’t do this on my coffee table,” one user tweeted. “I’m having a heart attack just looking at this brother,” said another.
Others said the video is not for the faint hearted and that if the boys want to learn parkour they should do it closer to the ground.
