A HOTEL guest has helped rescue a window cleaner left dangling on a rope after falling four storeys at a Gold Coast high-rise.
The man had been cleaning windows on the 21st floor of the Sunbird Beach Resort at Main Beach, when a rope went slack.
The 35-year-old, who was wearing a safety harness, fell four floors and hit a 17th floor window.
A woman staying at the hotel reportedly pulled the dangling man onto a balcony.
He has been taken to the Gold Coast Hospital in a stable condition, with suspected rib injuries.
The cleaner, reported to have the ironic name of Lee Heights, was left dangling next to the balcony of the room where the Nicol family, from Brisbane, were holidaying.
Mum Jenny Nicol helped pulled the man to safety before she and husband Richard raised the alarm with the building managers.
"He was yelling out in pain and groaning and looked a bit dazed," Ms Nicol told The Courier-Mail.
"He must have knocked himself out for a bit. I'm just glad he's okay."
Police as well as the Department of Workplace Health and Safety are investigating the incident.
