A Saudi Student Was Commemorated On TV This Week For Saving A Drowning Australian Man
A Saudi university student, Ahmed Al Mohimeed, was recognised by Australian TV news channel 9 News for saving a man in his 50s who had a reported heart attack and was close to drowning in Aldokland River. Al Mohimeed witnessed that the man couldn’t stay afloat when he was walking around the Victoria Harbor Promenade, he didn’t hesitate to jump in and try to save the man.
They’re referring to him as the ‘good samaritan’
Al Mohimeed told 9 News the reasons for him saving the man, “As a human, we do care about each other, we love each other and we have to look after each other. So that’s why I did it.” He also added that he would do it all over again, despite the fact that they are strangers.
