Today (4th) at 11:26 a.m., a man in his 20s jumped into the sea by the waterfront of Quarry Bay Park. A swimmer immediately threw a life buoy to save him and called the police for help.
Ambulance personnel arrived, and the male victim was conscious and sent to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital for treatment.
Mr. Tan, the swimmer who saved the life, said that he goes swimming nearby every day. Today, he found the male victim sitting on a rock with a lonely expression, so he paid attention to him. About 5 minutes later, the male victim suddenly jumped into the sea with a "poof".
Tan moved forward to check and saw the other party hugging the wooden pillar in the sea, seemingly having difficulty breathing, so he immediately dropped the life buoy.
Mr. Tan, a swimmer, said that when he found the male victim sitting on the stone wall, he paid attention to him.
