This is the moment a brave passerby saved a woman from drowning in southern India last week. <br /><br />The woman slipped into the pond in Raichur in Karnataka state on December 13. <br /><br />Unable to swim, she thrashed about to get back to the dry land but managed to move into the middle of the water body. <br /> <br />A passerby, who saw that the woman was drowning, jumped into the water and dragged her to safety. <br /><br />A police official said the incident occurred near the Race Bachpan school. <br /><br />“A huge pit, which had been dug up to build a multi-story building, had filled up due to heavy rain creating an artificial pond,” said the officer.<br /><br />The builder has now set up a barricade to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
