A woman rescued an 87-year-old man from drowning in a frozen lake in eastern China.

Video filmed in the city of Rushan in Shandong Province on December 31, 2022, shows a police officer named Zhang Xinyuan holding a stick and being dragged to the shore.

She then turned around to help bring the elderly man back to safety.

According to reports, Zhang and her mother took a walk in Hebin Park and suddenly heard people asking for help.

Zhang ran to the lake immediately and stepped onto the ice layer to try to save the pensioner.

However, the ice layer suddenly broke and she fell into the lake as well. She then swam to the elderly man to drag him back to the shore.

With the help of the residents on the shore, Zhang took the 87-year-old back to safety successfully.

The elderly man reportedly walked onto the frozen lake by mistake when taking a walk in the park.

Since he was rescued in time, he has almost recovered.

The video was provided by local media with permission.
