Girl saved from the River Trent after becoming 'submerged'

A girl was saved after becoming submerged in the River Trent. The 12-year-old had been spotted close to the County Hall, near to the Victoria Embankment, before going into the river on the night of June 6, 2021.

She was struggling to keep her head above the water due to the thick and woollen clothing that she was wearing. And she repeatedly dipped under the surface of the water becoming submerged, according to Nottinghamshire Police.

After seeing the girl in the water, nearby Police Constable Nick Lewis took off his stab vest and equipment belt and jumped in as she fought to stay afloat. After being directed by another police officer, he managed to grab hold of her and got her back to the bank to safety.
