Amer Al-Shehri has never learned to swim - but that didn t stop the hero from jumping into the raging river.
The moment a Saudi man leapt into a raging river without any consideration for his own safety – and unable to swim - to rescue a drowning child has been captured on video.
The child had fallen from the banks of the river into the waters below and swept away, barely noticeable as the river dragged him down stream – his head just above the surface of the murky water that had churned up the sand below, people on the banks watched on in horror.
