Video: Old Saudi swims across flooded street

An ageing Saudi man had to swim to reach the other side of the road in the Gulf Kingdom after it was flooded with rain water over the past two days.

A YouTube film published on social media networks showed the man slowly and carefully pushing his way into the water which covered him up to the chest.

‘Ajel’ newspaper which published the film was shot in the central town of Buraidah and that the man reached the other side safely.
