At noon on August 18, a woman of about 30 years old was pushing a baby push-chair along the bank of Xuan Huong Lake for a stroll.

It is reported that the woman was busy with her smartphone as she was hunting a Pokemon when strong winds blew the push-chair with her son to the lake.

Seeing the chair was sinking about 1m from the shore, a foreign middle-aged man and a young Vietnamese man jumped into the lake to rescue the baby.

Some people who were hunting Pokemons around the lake also came to help.

The baby was handed over to his mother.

"The foreign tourist very quickly threw his phone and belongings to the lawn and plunged into the water. That place was close to the shore, but it was about 2 meters deep," said a young man who was playing Pokemon Go near the site, adding that when the incident occurred, the wind was very strong and it was quite cold.

The kindhearted foreign tourist has not been identified as he quickly left the place after rescuing the baby.
