Two runners sacrificed personal bests to come to the rescue of an exhausted competitor at the Boston Marathon.
Aaron Beggs was first to stop to pull Ajay Haridasse up off the ground after he fell and could not get up.
With Haridasse still struggling to stay on his feet, another runner, Robson De Oliveira, stepped in and the pair put their arms around Haridasse to help him across the line.
The incident was filmed by several spectators who witnessed Haridasse falling shortly after the 26 mile (41.8km) mark.
