So why didn’t the man standing 1 foot from the kid on the balcony reach over to grab him?

Guessing it is a child or elderly woman?

It took some strength to haul the kid back up over the ledge. Gassama made it look easy but he looks like he could bench press a Shetland pony. Also, he needed leverage. Notice that when he gets to a certain point, he has the reach to be able to get a handhold beyond the ledge itself. He’s a fairly big guy.

Maybe, like Dirty Harry once said, "A man has got to know his limitations," and he was afraid he'd drop the kid instead of save him.

Total setup.

From what I saw there was a higher partition between the balconies and the man was reaching around it just to hold the child in place, he was probably afraid to let go for a better position.
