Two men leapt into the water in the US Virgin Islands to rescue a young woman in a wheelchair who fell from a dock into the water - and were given a round of applause by onlookers.
Locals Kuntry Hamilton and Randolph Donovan are being hailed heroes after they leap into action when the young woman in a wheelchair rolled off a dock in St. Thomas.
In a video of the rescue, posted on social media, the girl is seen gripping a life ring as the men hold on to her to keep her afloat.
They were seen working together with rescuers on the dock to use a rope that had been tied around, to pull her out of the water.
