Fox News
A fisherman in Ukraine filmed himself rescuing a young boy who got himself stuck on an ice floe nearly 100 feet from the shore of the Desenka River in Kyiv earlier this week.
Richard Gorda shared the footage to Facebook on Sunday, shortly after the incident occurred. In the 8-minute clip, he can be seen racing toward the area where the boy, 11, was calling for help from the small sheet of ice. The boy shouted that he couldn’t swim, prompting Gorda to instruct onlookers to call the authorities, Ukraine’s Independent Information Agency of News (UNIAN) reported. In the meantime, Gorda cast out a lure (with no hook) in the direction of the boy, who managed to pluck the line out of the water.More Related News
