In Frankfurt, a man sitting in a wheelchair fell into the Main and was rescued by several courageously intervening passers-by.

A 21-year-old jogger saw the man fall into the river on Wednesday evening, immediately ran to the spot and jumped after him, the police said on Thursday.

It was said that she got hold of the 32-year-old near the shore.

But at first the 21-year-old was unable to save himself to the stairs because of the current.

Only a 22-year-old and a 23-year-old man managed to pull them to the bank with the help of a long scarf.
