Footage has emerged from China of firefighters rescuing a 12-year-old girl who fell into a well and stayed stuck in it for eight hours.

In the video, filmed in Luohe, Henan Province last Tuesday, a firefighter tied on a rope is lowered into the well to try to pull the girl out.

The rescue team had to use four excavators to dig around the pipe and free the girl.

According to local news, the girl was playing near the well when she accidentally fell into it.

She was taken to hospital and reportedly is in a stable condition.
