This is the moment two Georgia cops jump into freezing waters to rescue a drowning woman trapped under a dock after she reportedly jumped from a city bridge.

The rescue was filmed at Forest River Bridge in the city of Savannah in the US state of Georgia at around 5.15pm on 8th February.

Savannah Police Department (SPD) said in a statement on 10th February: “Two Savannah Police officers jumped into freezing waters Feb. 8 and rescued a drowning woman who had jumped off of the Forest River Bridge.

“Around 5:15 pm, officers were dispatched to the Forest River Bridge, located at Abercorn Street and Heroes Way, after someone witnessed a woman leaning far over the bridge.”

The police added: “When officers arrived, the woman had already jumped into the river and could not been seen.”

SPD said: “Additional SPD officers, Chatham County Police officers, firefighters and EMS responded to the scene in an attempt to locate the woman. Residents who lived in the area assisted with the search efforts and allowed officers to search the water from their boats.

“After searching the area for some time, officers heard gurgling and found that the woman was under the water under the dock that some of them were standing on.”

The cops on the dock attempted to pull her up, but were unsuccessful.

SPD said: “Understanding that time was of the essence and the woman had been under the freezing water for some time, two officers – Sgt. Sharif Lockett and Officer William Fitzpatrick – jumped into the water and collectively worked to pull the woman onto the dock.”

The unnamed woman was treated at the scene by paramedics.

Police chief Roy Minter said. “It was definitely a team effort for all officers, first responders and citizens involved – from the extensive search to the rescue.

“We know that had these officers not responded and acted so quickly that this could have had a tragic outcome.”
