8 May 2017, Durban: A 24 year old man was rescued today from underneath a bridge where he was allegedly stuck for two days.

Rescue Care, IPSS Medical and SAPS Search and Rescue were called to the scene by a passer-by on a boat who noticed the man in distress.

An SAPS Search and Rescue Officer made his way into the Umgeni River to obtain visuals on the victim whilst IPSS Paramedics prepared a rescue roping system to gain access to the man.



IPSS Paramedics and SAPS used a technical rope system to reach the man where they placed him in a specialised harness and then lowered him to safety.

Once on the ground Paramedics stabilised the obviously dehydrated man before he was transported to a nearby hospital for the further care that he required.

The circumstances of how the man got to that position is unknown however SAPS were on the scene and will be investigating further.
