A man was rescued from the river along the North Shore River Walk thanks to some quick action by a bystander.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, just before 3 a.m., police, fire, and EMS were called to a reported drowning near the Mister Rogers Memorial on the North Shore.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to first responders arriving on the scene, a bystander heard a man screaming for help in the river. He was able to locate the man, call 911, and hold onto his arm while they waited for help to arrive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once police, fire, EMS, and the River Rescue Unit arrived, they joined the bystander and were able to pull the man from the river.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The man was ultimately pulled from the river, treated at the scene for hypothermia, and is now in the hospital in stable condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s unclear what caused the man to fall into the river.\u00a0<\/p>\n
