A QUICK-THINKING two-year-old saved his twin brother’s life after he was trapped under a heavy bookcase.

The start of footage shows one twin trapped under the huge bookcase while his brother tries to work out how to free him.

After trying to push the shelf from behind, he goes to the side where his twin is trapped and with superhuman strength, manages to lift the heavy item high enough for his brother to wiggle out.

The boys’ parents, Ricky and Kayli Shoff from the US state of Utah, posted the video online.

“I’ve been a little hesitant to post this. But I feel it’s not only to bring awareness, but it is also incredible. We are so grateful for the bond that these twin brothers share,” Mr Shoff wrote on Facebook.

“We know Bowdy was not alone in moving the dresser off of Brock. And feel blessed that he is OK. Please make sure all your dressers are bolted and secured to the wall. Please share.”
