Continuous rain yesterday evening resulted in flash floods in several parts of the city centre, including Jalan Chan Sow Lin.
Near the tunnel heading towards Jalan Pudu, a Nissan X-Trail driver was stranded in flood waters.
In a statement, JSPT KL said Lance Corporal Muhammad Afizul Ismail immediately rushed to rescue the 27-year-old driver.
It can be seen in the video that Muhammad Afizul was not only wading in the water but eventually had to swim.
His quick action ensured the driver was brought to safety.
The fate of the XTrail however remains unknown at this time.
Meanwhile, on Jalan Tun HS Lee, two traffic control unit members, Corporal Syed Syafiq Syed Salim and Lance Corporal Shahril Kamaruzaman helped to clear a clogged drain in order to make the road passable to vehicles.
