Tengrinews.kz - A video of a young man who jumped into a river without thinking to save a drowning child has become popular among Kazakhstani online users, and the hero is already being offered an award for his actions.

The video appeared on October 27. The incident took place in Almaty, presumably on the Esentai River. The footage shows a man, apparently without even taking off his sunglasses or bag, jumping into the water and pulling a boy out of the cold river. The rescued boy, barely reaching the shore, said a simple but meaningful: "Rahmet, aga," (Thank you, brother/uncle) expressing gratitude to his savior.

Under the publication on TikTok, users expressed their respect for the hero, calling him a brave and selfless person.

"It is instantly obvious that the guy did not think about anything, glasses with a bag👍 his goal was to save him!!! May Allah grant him barakat, health"; "Everyone in this video is a real citizen 👍 the guy who saved him, jumped without thinking, his friend extended his hand to him, and the boy did not forget to say thank you, although he was barely alive..."; "The guy did not even take off his glasses to save! Well done, hero 👏🏻 The child immediately thanked him, despite the shock! May Allah give you a long, happy life."

"Find who saved him, give him an apartment, give him a car, at least some kind of reward from the state to an ordinary person," some commentators in the video suggested rewarding the hero.

The Almaty Police Department told Tengrinews.kz that this fact was revealed during the monitoring of social networks.

"This fact was revealed during the monitoring of social networks. There were no signals, calls, or appeals to the police about the event. Currently, the Almaly District Police Department is conducting an investigation. The participants and details of the rescue operation will be identified. An investigation is underway," the report says.

In addition, the video of a child's rescue in one of Astana's shopping malls is also currently being discussed online among Kazakhstani users.
