A Quayside bartender saved the life of a drunk teenager who was struggling in the River Tyne.
The member of staff from Urban Garden in Newcastle used a throw line to rescue the drinker after he got into difficulty near the Millennium Bridge on Thursday, June 15.
Firefighters were called by a member of the public to the scene and on arrival, they found a woman from the bar has already deployed the life-saving equipment and managed to bring the teenager to the ladders at the side of the river.
