Saudi student saves elderly Australian neighbour from blaze

ADELAIDE: A Saudi man reportedly risked his life to rescue his 94-year-old Australian neighbour from a fire that broke out in her home, local media posted.

Noah Al Thakry Al Harbi, who studies in Adelaide in Australia, said he was taking a nap in the afternoon when he woke up to the screams of a neighbour.

“The elderly woman was seeking help after a fire broke out in her neighbour’s house. I rushed to the burning house and tried to open the front door, but I could not.

So I went to the back window, broke it and managed to get my elderly neighbour out of the window as the fire reached the back door,” he said.
