Brave beachgoers leaps into sea to save drowning mother and son in China

This is the moment a man jumped into the sea to rescue a mother and her son after the boy accidentally fell in and his mother went in to save him despite not knowing how to swim.

The rescue unfolded at Shishi's Golden Coast near the city of Quanzhou, in Fujian, south-east China on August 7. The boy and his mum - who were not named in local media - wanted to take pictures of the sunset atop the rocks on the shore when he accidentally slipped and fell in.
