Young Woman Rescued After Jumping into the Danube from Margaret Bridge
Prompt actions by local authorities lead to a successful rescue operation in Budapest.
On February 27, a young woman jumped into the Danube River from the Margaret Bridge in Budapest.
According to the Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK), a bystander noticed the woman climbing over the bridge's railing before falling into the river.
Following her plunge, she was found floating face down in the water.
Due to the swift report of the incident, the river police units arrived at the scene promptly and were prepared for a rescue operation.
They positioned themselves alongside the woman, lifting her into their motorboat.
At that time, she was unconscious.
Once in the boat, emergency responders placed her in a stable side position.
Water began to exit from her airways, and she gradually regained consciousness.
After the removal of her soaked clothing, rescuers covered her body with thermal insulation foil and a blanket to prevent hypothermia.
Within a few minutes, personnel from the ambulance service arrived to continue treatment for the disoriented woman, who was subsequently transported to a hospital.
In recognition of their exemplary police work, Budapest's police chief awarded Constable Balázs Lázár and Officer Krisztián Simon for their life-saving efforts.
The following day, the young woman contacted the police to express her gratitude for saving her life.
