Man rescues three people swept up by monstrous waves during storm

A video has surfaced of an elderly couple being swept away by the waves caused by a storm in France on Monday.

Thankfully, the couple were saved from the terrifying incident near Breton in the north-west of France, but it shows the perils of being on a beach during a storm.

The clip starts with a man in a green coat doing some beachcombing, when he turns around and walks towards the camera just as a big wave comes in.
