A toddler was 'drowning silently' in an adult swimming pool when a porter pulled him to safety in a 'miracle' rescue.
Distressing CCTV shows the three-year-old boy, who is alone, playing briefly in the children's pool of a private residential apartment block in Brazil.
He then plunges into the adult area and sinks underwater for more than 20 seconds, with only his flailing hands visible above his submerged body.
Thankfully, Alex Sandro, a porter at the gated flat complex in Serra, Espirito Santo, was on his rounds just before 8pm on Saturday, January 19, when he caught sight of the distressed child.
