A Dagestani wrestling coach is being lauded as a hero after assisting in the rescue of six people from a burning car in Moscow.
Arslanbek Aliyev happened to be walking by to visit his friends when he saw a Mercedes hit the rear of a taxi at high speed, sending it off course and into the wall of a nearby building on Zubovsky Boulevard. The Mercedes burst into flames moments after colliding with the wall, which led to Aliyev run to the scene to help the victims.
“We ran out at the sound of fire, immediately the car began to burn,” Aliyev later explained.
