Boy Scout Saves President of the Maldives

15-year-old Boy Scout Mohamed Jaisham outdid himself for his good deed of the day -he saved the life of his president! At the opening of an environmental project, a man stepped out of the crowd with a knife wrapped in the country’s flag. As he reached toward Maldivian president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, Jaisham wrestled him to the ground and took the knife away!

“I have been saved thanks to Mohamed Jaisham and Allah,” President Gayoom said in a national radio address after the incident.

Jaisham, who wore his Boy Scout uniform for the event, suffered an injury to his hand. The president received a rip in his shirt. Link -via Arbroath
