The Norristown Police Department stepped up on Labor Day with a lifeguard style rescue on the Schuylkill River, all captured on their body-worn cameras.
Norristown police officer, Ed Butterworth, quickly took off his heavy-duty belt, gun, and bullet-proof vest, after a father accidentally drove his truck, with his 12-year-old daughter, into the river Monday.
Officer Matt Walsh explained, "The truck had gone in to the river in front of me. She tried to dive out the driver’s side window. The truck did go fully underwater. We know that current is faster than it looks. Most people don’t know what that current can do." Officer Butterworth continued, "Boom! I go in. I couldn’t find him, he’s under the water. I’m calmly asking her, ‘Where is he, where is he?’ He pops up. So she was holding him down, so she can breathe, which is, I think, just normal for anyone who was panicking like people do when near drowning. I grabbed his shirt. I was pulling both of them, swimming backwards. It was a lot."
