Mangaluru (PTI): A teenager rescued a 10-year-old boy who was being swept away by strong waves at Someshwara Beach, police said on Sunday.

The incident occurred on Saturday evening.

According to officials, Muhammad Arshaman (10), a resident of Vitla Megginapete, had come to the beach with his family when he was caught in a strong current. Noticing the situation, Muhammad Ismail Faiz (16), son of Ashraf from Mudipu, immediately jumped into the sea to rescue him.

Faiz battled the waves for about 10 minutes before managing to bring the boy to safety.

Following the rescue, Faiz became exhausted and briefly lost consciousness. He was later admitted to a private hospital in the city and is recovering.

Arshaman is also reported to be out of danger, police said.

Faiz recently passed the SSLC examination and secured second place in a state-level karate competition.

Both Arshaman and Faiz are relatives and had visited the beach with their families when the incident occurred.

Local swimmers also assisted in the rescue after being alerted.

Faiz said that he knew how to swim, which gave him the confidence to attempt the rescue.
