A Quayside bar manager has spoken of the moment she saved a teenager from drowning in the River Tyne.
Amber Hutton from Heaton, sprung into action to help the young reveller who had fallen into the river close to where she works at The Urban Garden last Thursday (June 15). The 24-year-old heard her colleague shouting for help at around 8.50pm and grabbed a throw line from behind the bar.
Amber remembered her water safety training that she’d learned from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) and the RNLI and used the life-saving device to bring the teen to safety.
