It’s a story that ends well. You may have noticed a large deployment of firefighters this Monday morning opposite the Matabiau station in Toulouse: a homeless man in his forties fell into the water just before 8 a.m.
A passerby comes to the rescue
A passer-by, in his fifties, saw him and jumped into the Canal du Midi to help him. But the two men find themselves in difficulty : they can’t get back on the bank. The passer-by manages to hold the man who has fallen out of the water. The firefighters, warned a few minutes earlier, quickly arrived on the spot and extracted the two men from this delicate situation.
The homeless man was taken to hospital in a state of hypothermia but his life is not in danger. The passer-by is not injured: he was driven home by firefighters. “He was soaked to the skin, we couldn’t let him go home like that” explains a manager of the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service of Haute-Garonne who salutes the courage of this passer-by.
