Another rescue

River rescues seemed to the flavour of last month, with another performed at North Wharf on Sunday, November 20.

Barman Matt McKiernan was closing up the The Wharf Hotel at about 11.30pm when he heard screams from the river.

Realising a man was drowning, he stripped off, dived in and pulled the man to the bank where others helped him lift the man from the river and resuscitate him.

The man was taken to hospital by ambulance in a stable condition.
