By Debbie Bulloch



The identity of the mystery French tourist, who jumped into New York’s East River to save a two-year old girl, has been finally revealed.

Since last Saturday's brave river rescue captured the imagination of New Yorkers, the identity of the French man who plunged into the river's icy waters had remained a mystery. Well, the mystery has finally been revealed.

The mystery rescuer is 29 year-old Julien Duret. Monsieur Duret resides in
Lyon France.

M. Duret was visiting New York City with friends when he saw little Bridget Sheridan fall into the icy river. Duret immediately jumped into the water, he was followed into the river by Bridget’s father, David Anderson. Duret picked up the girl from the water and then handed it to her dad.
