Late on Saturday evening, a 70-year-old man fell into a river in the local area of Zwölfaxing (Bruck a. d. Leitha district).
The man got stuck in the riverbed of the "Kalten Gang," causing his head to be pushed underwater, reported the fire department. A witness to the incident immediately intervened as a first responder, entered the river, and held the 70-year-old's head above water until the fire department arrived.
The fire departments of Zwölfaxing, Pellendorf, and Himberg freed the man from his predicament using a spineboard - a special stretcher. He was taken to the hospital for medical evaluation by the rescue services.
