"Saw the bus picking up speed." A student pulled a boy out from under the wheels

December 24, 2022. Taisiya Sidorova

Good news from Pravmir

17-year-old Yana Tatiev from Barnaul saved a child's life. She managed to stop the boy, who almost fell under the wheels of a bus at a pedestrian crossing. The incident was captured on the dashcam of another vehicle. The girl was found and awarded by the traffic police. nine0003

- I am crossing the road and he is running. I see out of the corner of my eye that the bus is picking up speed. And the boy is all in black, you can't really see him. Somehow, I just pulled my hand out of my pocket and grabbed his hood. I really didn't understand anything. He, too, - said Yana.

The incident took just a few seconds, after which both Yana and the boy went their separate ways. The driver of the car standing on the pedestrian crossing posted a video from his registrar on the social network, and it became viral. nine0003

Traffic police officers found Yana and came to congratulate her at the technical school, where she is studying to become a pastry chef. The student was presented with flowers and a letter of thanks by Gennady Kuznetsov, head of the traffic safety propaganda department in Barnaul.

Yana herself says that she will be recognized after this incident on the streets of the city.

— Of course, I'm pleased, but I'm a little shy. Glad it worked out that way,” she says. nine0003

Near Irkutsk, a first-grader saved her friend from a pedophile

8-year-old Lera Vasilyeva received an award from the Investigative Committee "For High Citizenship". A schoolgirl saved her friend Ira from a man who tried to rape her.

In the summer, Lera and Ira walked in the yard, and then they went to the pasture with their friend's mother to bring lunch to her brother, who worked as a shepherd.

A fellow traveler joined them on the way. He talked with Ira's mother, asked what the girls' names were, where they studied. Then it turned out that the name that this man introduced himself was not real. nine0003

When they reached the pasture, Ira's mother was distracted by a conversation with her son, and the stranger suggested that the girls race back to the road. They agreed, but halfway through Lera's stomach hurt, she stopped.

At that moment the man grabbed Ira and began to pull off her clothes. When she screamed, he covered the child's mouth with his hand. Lera saw it.

- She grabbed a stone and swung at him: “Get off Ira, otherwise I’ll hit!” When I realized that it was useless, I rushed back for my friend's mother. The frightened poor thing shouted after her: “Don’t leave me!” Lera’s mother said. nine0003

Lera called the adults, when they came running, the man disappeared.

The child's mother wrote a statement to the police, the suspect's orientation was posted around the city. Some time later he was arrested.

In the Urals, an employee of the colony saved a woman in the forest

Elena Yakovleva was returning from a colony in the village of Azanka, where she serves. The path lay through the forest. At some point, she heard a groan.

- These were screams coming from somewhere deep inside. The only thing that could be distinguished was the word "mother". At first I thought that some teenager was screaming, - said Elena Yakovleva. nine0003

The woman has deviated from her usual route. There was not a soul around. She ran towards the sound, although, as she later recalled, it was very scary. I had to run deep into the forest about 150 meters. Elena saw a woman sitting in a snowdrift.

- Most likely, she went up the hill, fell and could no longer get up. She was shaking from the cold,” Elena noted.

An employee of the colony called an ambulance and called the district police officer. She also called her husband for help. The injured woman was covered with warm clothes and carried to the railway station, where an ambulance arrived. nine0003

The stranger had severe frostbite. She was taken to the hospital. It turned out that Elena was the only one who did not pass by.

This woman has three children. It's a shame that the people who passed by didn't help her earlier. Frostbite was quite strong, - said Elena Yakovleva.
