Neighbours feared the worst after hearing the woman’s loud howls.
They immediately called the emergency services and reported a ‘victim’ could be heard repeatedly screaming for help from inside her flat.

A firefighting team was sent to the scene to carry out a daring rescue.
They arrived at the apartment in full gear and started to smash down the door.
Footage showed one firefighter kicking the front door before using a large crowbar to try to prise it open.
But the door suddenly opened and a confused-looking man wearing only jogging bottoms appeared.
It happened in Guangzhou, China, as reported by What’s The Jam.

He asked them: “What’s wrong? What are you doing?”
The firefighters looked at each other in bemusement.
The man was then joined in the doorway by a dishevelled woman, apparently his romantic partner.

They explained they were just having an intimate moment together.
After checking the woman was okay, the embarrassed firefighters left the scene.
One local joked: “This guy is so talented that the woman was crying for help.”
“I guess the people downstairs did it on purpose; they must have got tired of hearing it,” added another.
A third cruelly said: “Just look at his belly.
“The woman must be a good actress.”
