Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Las Vegas Wranglers head coach Ryan Mougenel is being hailed a hero.

He was in the right place at the right time during a trip to Boston.

Mougenel was one of a handful of people who helped save a man that was drowning in the Boston Harbor.

Witnesses say that the 54-year-old man had fallen into Boston Harbor and was struggling to stay afloat.

Mougenel and two others jumped into the water to rescue the man and brought him to a nearby water taxi.

From there, they helped the man to a Massachusetts State police boat.

The man was taken to the Massachusetts General Hospital. There is no word on his condition.

Mougenel was in Boston with his wife on vacation. They were visiting her family.
