The 24-year-old asylum seekers Shoja Shojahiddin cannot swim themselves, but in Wels in Wels in Upper Austria still jumped to the Traun River to save a crashed retired (82) from the ice-cold water. The selfless savior describes the “crown” the worries.
“I just took off my shoes and immediately jumped into the water with my robe” Shoja Shojahiddin, a 24-year-old Afghan, became a lifeline for a retired person (82) on Thursday. Even though the young asylum seeker cannot swim himself.
The 82-year-old had previously walked along the Traun in the Trade Fair City. When she took a break and sat down on her walker to go crazy, the accident happened: the hiking aid suddenly rolled away and the retired Wels collapsed in the ice -cold river with her rolloator.
“It was very difficult”
“I only saw her face,” says Ratter Shojahiddin, who happened to come by, opposite the “krone” the dramatic moments. The Traun is a few meters deep in the middle of the river, not to be underestimated. But the 24-year-old did not hesitate for a moment and hurried to the pensioner in the water.
“It was very difficult because I can’t swim myself,” the Afghan continues. “But I was able to pull the woman out of the water with her hands. Then I asked someone to call the salvation.”
Dakwoman is on his way of improvement
The 82-year-old was brought to the Wels Clinic for a check. Good news came from there on Friday: “The patient was taken care of for the outpatient clinic and has already been released,” says the hospital. And the pensioner can already rely on her hiking aid, because the Wels Fire Brigade accidentally traveled with a boat near the accident location because of an exercise: “We drove there and found the rollator of about two and a half meters,” says operation manager Michael Strasser. “Then we handed it over to the emergency services, so that the lady is mobile again.”
Savior Shojahiddin – he lives and works in Wels – received a lot of praise after his selfless auxiliary campaign: “My friends say:” You are now a role model. “
