Police say three officers jump into Adelaide’s River Torrens to rescue a man who is struggling in the water after allegedly fleeing police following a fight in the CBD. All outlets report the man enters or is in the river while trying to evade officers and needs help to stay afloat.
According to reports, the incident follows police attending an alleged altercation on Hindley Street. The man is described as calling for help as officers reach him, and the rescue is carried out by the three officers who enter the water. Different outlets frame the man’s actions as an attempted escape from police custody or capture, but they agree on the broad sequence: a fight in the CBD, alleged evasion, and then the river rescue.
