Saudi student saves man from drowning in UK river
RIYADH/LONDON: A Saudi man has been described as a “hero” and an “inspiration” after rescuing another man from drowning in a river in the UK. Turki Al-Shammari, a student at the University of Central Lancashire, saved Dean Lowe from the River Ribble in Preston, England, after he had entered the water to try to rescue his family’s dog. Al-Shammari had been out feeding birds in a park when he heard the commotion. “I looked down into the river and found the man fighting for his life trying not to drown. I jumped immediately and swam to him,” he told Arab News.
