Police are trying to find a good group of Good Samaritan who helped a PCSO ‘save the life’ of a cyclist who fell into a canal near Forge Island
On 10 January, just before 2pm, an off-duty PSCO was walking to work through the Forge Island area when she heard shouting.
After following the shouts for help, she found a group of people hanging onto a man who had fallen from his bicycle and into the freezing canal water.
The PSCO hung onto the man with other good Samaritans until help from the emergency services arrived.
Those involved that helped left the area as officers arrived and we’re keen to track them down to say thank you.
The man was taken to hospital by ambulance and is recovering well, but it has not gone unnoticed that without the help of those there, the outcome could have been very different.
Anyone with information can contact police online, via live chat or by calling 101 quoting incident number 424 of 10 January 2025.
