The Ruler of Dubai’s team saw the video and shared it on his social media accounts then his office tracked down the men for a special surprise 

Speaking to The National, the four men said they were invited to an event where their deeds were celebrated after being reached out to by HH Sheikh Mohammed’s office. 

The heroes: Naseer Muhammad, an RTA bus driver from India, Ashraf Bleinza, a security guard from Morocco, Atif Mehmood, a Pakistani salesman and Rashid Mohammed, an Indian grocery store owner received a phone call from a government official on Thursday afternoon.
