Tourist rescues couple from sea in Mojacar

     A man on holiday in Mojacar rescued a couple who got trapped on rocks at the Playa de Cantal. The Red Cross had raised a red flag to indicate the dangerous state of the sea at the time but there were still people swimming in the sea despite the danger. Raul Alcedo Olea from Malaga saw the couple get into trouble. He said that his attention was caught by the time they were taking to come to the surface so he jumped into the water fully clothed to help them. He was helped by several people to pull the woman out of the water but the man went under again and he had to pull him out by the hair. Raul said that if he had stopped to think he probably wouldn't have jumped in to save them. The Mojacar Red Cross went to the scene straight away and took the man and woman to the emergency services.
