Hanoi - A man whose legs were tightly wrapped in nets, had cramps and struggled in the Red River was promptly rescued by waterway police officers.
At about 9 pm on November 1st, during patrol and control on the Red River, the task force of River Police Team No. 1 - Traffic Police Department (Hanoi City Police) promptly rescued a man who encountered an accident while fishing.
Accordingly, at the above time, the task force of Riverine Police Team No. 1 including Captain Truong The Vu (Team Leader), Captain Bui Duc Duy and Captain Nguyen Ngoc Tuyen (Team Member) were performing patrol and control duties at Km213 on the Red River route, in Yen Lang commune, Hanoi City.

Recognizing the dangerous situation, officers in the working group immediately deployed a rescue plan. A waterway traffic police officer quickly approached the victim's location, without hesitation jumped into the water to coordinate to bring the victim onto a specialized motorboat.
At the time of the incident, it was dark, the victim fell into a wide river area, posing many dangers. Approaching and bringing the victims onto the vehicle required the urgency and timely coordination of the working group members.

“While collecting nets, my fishing net unfortunately got caught in an obstacle. I jumped down to remove it, but my leg got caught in the net. Although I tried to find a way to remove it, I couldn't, I had to struggle and call for help. At this time, my leg also had cramps.
Fortunately, I then heard the sound of the motorboat approaching. A police officer jumped into the water, cut off the net stuck in my leg and then put me on the boat," Mr. N shared.
The incident once again shows the role of the Riverine Traffic Police force in patrolling, controlling, ensuring order and safety of waterway traffic and proactively supporting people when encountering incidents on the river.
