The heart-stopping moment happened in Jodhpur, India and it was captured on camera.

According to a LadBible article, the girl’s dad went to withdraw money from an ATM machine when it suddenly rained hard. He and his young child had to “wait under a shelter” but after an hour, continuous raining resulted to overflowing drains “turning roads into gushing streams.”

The father carried his daughter on his shoulder but she accidentally slipped and fell into the flood. He tried saving her but he was likewise swept away by the wild water.

Fortunately, our hero was there to save the day.

Apparently, he was standing near a shop when he saw what happened. He immediately moved to pull the young girl out of the water, not minding the possible danger.
