Chinese man leaps into river to save drowning boy who fell in moments before

A heroic man in southwestern China jumped into a river to rescue a drowning boy.

The video, provided by local media and filmed in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province on March 21, shows a five-year-old boy riding a bike speeding into a wall on the side of the shore and dropping into the river.

Tourists spotted the boy and called for help.

A bar owner heard it and ran out with a broom to try to let the boy grab it.

However, the stick on the broom was not long enough, so the man jumped into the water to save the drowning boy.

The boy was rescued within a minute and sent to hopsital to be checked out.

Fortunately, the boy was alright and went back home for observation.
