A U.S. man rescued a drowning Korean man from Busan’s Suyeonggang River on Wednesday.
According to the Haeundae Police, the 27-year-old English tutor saw the 55-year-old man flailing in the river at around 9:45 p.m. Women were gathered at the Gwajeonggyo Bridge, from where the man had apparently jumped.
The English teacher dived in after him, with a life buoy, and rescued the man after swimming some 100-meters.
The police said the rescued man conceded the blankets offered by 911 to his rescuer to show his gratitude.
According to the police, the rescued man had clinical depression which caused him to impulsively jump.
