An unbelievably shocking CCTV footage shows a man and his son who were run over, as they crossed a street in Asir, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to the daily Okaz<\/em>, the child in the video could be seen walking with his father when the young boy’s hands suddenly slipped out of his father’s side, and he runs across the street.<\/p>\n

As soon as the child got to the middle of the second road, the father noticed an oncoming vehicle and swiftly ran to push his son out of the way.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the vehicle smashed into the both of them, hauling the father a few metres away.<\/p>\n

The two were transferred to the nearest hospital where the father continues to fight for his life while the child is now in a stable condition.<\/p>\n
