WOMAN DRAGGED FROM POND

A WOMAN was dragged to safety after she fell into a pond in the city.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to reports of a woman who was in a pond off Swanswell Street, in the city centre, just before 2am on Friday November 13.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival at the scene, crews found a woman who had been pulled out of a large pond by two passers by.

“The woman was very wet and cold following the incident. Crews treated her at the scene, wrapped her in a blanket to keep her warm and monitored her condition before taking her by ambulance to University Hospital for further assessment and treatment.

“Without the swift actions of the two passers by, the outcome of this incident had the potential to be much more serious.”
