Brave police officer saves woman dangling by her fingertips above railway line

A quick-thinking police officer raced into action to save a woman hanging by her fingertips 30 feet above a railway line. The incident could have ended very differently were it not for the quick thinking of Sgt Steven Munday from Crewe.

The Cheshire officer was called out to reports of a woman who was on a pub roof but while he was there, getting ready to try to encourage her to come down, she slipped. The woman was left dangling precariously.

Sgt Munday took charge of the situation, working out the safest possible way to help her. He also had to factor in putting road closures in place and requesting that power on the railway line be switched off and trains stopped reports CheshireLive.
