(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised (贊揚) for saving a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before jumping into the cold East River.
Tuesday's DailyNexvssaid the 29-year-old young man who left the spot quickly after bringing the girl to safety last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank (河岸) near a museum. He handed the girl to her father,David Anderson,who had jumped in after him.
"I didn't think at all”,Duret told the DailyNews. "It happened very fast.

He thought it was a doll,but realised it was a child when he walked close to the river. Without thinking twice,he took off his coat and jumped into the water at once.
