Dehydrated marathon runner gets help from Good Samaritans

LOS ANGELES -- A runner not far from the finish line at the 2014 Los Angeles Marathon was so exhausted, two good Samaritans helped him finish the race.

The struggling marathoner, drenched in sweat and stumbling as he walked, was held by two men on each side of him.

Both helpers appear to cheer him on as all three approach the finish line together.
