Three people were rescued off the coast of Dubai after a fire broke out on their vessel.
A Dubai Police helicopter rescue team was sent in response to a mayday call from the freighter on Tuesday night.
An infrared video shot by police shows the helicopter approaching the large vessel. No smoke or fire is visible, suggesting the fire was inside the hull.
A rescue team boarded the ship and sents its lifeboats into the water. Then helicopter then lifted the men from the boats once it was clear.
Lt Col Khalfan Al Mazrouei, head of the air rescue department, said crews were sent out at about 7pm and that the fire was caused by an electrical problem.
He said one of the crew went into cardiac arrest.
The video shows an injured man receiving treatment as the copter lifts off.
"When our team arrived at the scene, they found the ship out of order," Lt Col Al Mazrouei said:
"One passenger on the boat suffered from a heart attack and the two others were suffering from shortness of breath.
"The rescue team used lifeboats to transport the three men to the helicopter. Then, they were airlifted to Rashid Hospital."
The helicopter crew were Flight Lieutenant Abduallah Al Shaer, Flight Assistant Abdual Aziz Al Ansari, and Mohammed Akram, he said.
Paramedics were also part of the rescue team.
Dubai Police carried out 290 sea rescue missions in 2016.
