A Portugal man leaped into freezing water when he saw an elderly man floating on his stomach in a river in central Lisbon.

José Brito is a 37-year-old fisherman and father from Cape Verde. He was walking near the Rio Tejo Tagus on Dec. 12, 2020, when he witnessed a 68-year-old man fall face-down into the water and then float motionless on his stomach.
