Bodycam video shows police officers save unconscious kayaker in cold Plymouth Massachusetts pond
Police officers in Plymouth, Massachusetts are being called heroes after they saved a kayaker who was unconscious and believed to be drowning.
It happened Wednesday morning on Long Pond. A 911 caller said a kayaker went overboard. When police officers got there, fishermen showed them where they last saw the man, who was face down in the water.
In body camera video released , Officer Josh Smith is seen putting on a lifejacket and jumping in the man’s kayak, which had drifted to shore. He rowed out to the unconscious kayaker.
“I jumped in, flipped him over and then shortly after, Officer Foley arrived in the canoe to help me support him,” said Smith.
Officer Thomas Foley helped Smith keep the kayaker’s head above water as Smith’s life jacket started to come loose.
