A video clip of an NBC reporter helping a pregnant refugee as she collapsed from tear gas inhilation has gone viral on social media.

US journalist Richard Engel was in the middle of a piece-to-camera on the Hungarian-Serbian border as a pregnant woman ran towards the camera and collapsed. Without breaking his piece to camera, continuing to describe events, he began to help the woman who appeared to have fainted:

The reporter later caught up with the woman, who was revealed to be 19-years old and two weeks away from her due date.
