Policeman uses rope to save Russian tourist stuck in waterfall

A Russian male tourist was stuck in a rapid waterfall in Hoa Bac commune, Hoa Vang district, and was successfully rescued by police using ropes.

At around 2:30 p.m. on October 29, a male tourist, about 31 years old, was stuck on a cliff at the foot of a waterfall more than ten meters high, in the Suoi Mo Khe Ram area.

Due to the strong current and high cliff, the victim could not move and had to cling to a rock cavity halfway up the waterfall. Witnesses called the authorities for help.
