Man rescues woman stranded in flooded car
Dramatic footage showing the moment a man rescued a woman from a car stranded in flood water has been shared online.
The video shows Cimi Kazazi wade through waist-high water in the village of Great Glen, Leicestershire, before carrying the woman out of the car to safety.
Mr Kazazi, owner of The Italian Greyhound restaurant, said he "didn't think twice" about going to the aid of the driver, who had become stuck outside his venue at about 07:00 GMT on Monday.
He said he took the woman inside his restaurant so she could dry off and recover.
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "I have never been in a situation like this before. I was getting freezing and feeling very dizzy.
"They got to me at just the nick of time."
She added: "The people here have been so supportive. Without them I would have been in hospital.
"I can't thank them enough. They have been so wonderful."
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service has declared a major incident in response to widespread flooding across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
