A 15-year-old boy, Archie Law, is praised after rescuing two men who get into difficulty in the water off Broadford Bay near the Isle of Skye, Scotland. According to multiple outlets, the incident happens on Saturday evening after UK Coastguard receives a report of “two males in difficulty in the water” around 9pm. The men had fallen from an inflatable toy boat.
The reports say Law, described as quick-thinking, takes his own outboard-powered dinghy to the scene and rescues the two men. The RNLI also issues praise for his actions. One outlet reports that Law arrives before an RNLI volunteer crew reaches the location, though the overall account agrees that he helps pull both men to safety.
Across sources, the key points are that Law uses his own boat to reach the men in distress after they fall from an inflatable boat, and his actions are recognized by the RNLI.
