Yesterday at around 10:00 PM in Istanbul, a person who came to fish at the Galata Bridge fell into the Golden Horn after the railing he was leaning on broke. Citizens who saw the person struggling in the water alerted those in a nearby boat, directing them to that spot.

STRUGGLE FOR LIFE IN THE GOLDEN HORN

After long efforts by those in the boat, the man who fell into the water was rescued by throwing a life buoy. The man was taken into the boat and after the first intervention by the medical teams, he was transported to the hospital by ambulance. It was learned that the health condition of the man who fell into the water was good. While the police teams started an investigation regarding the incident, the terrifying moments were captured on a mobile phone camera.

"THE IRON WAS RUSTY, I GUESS"

Mehmet Yontürk, who has a business at the Galata Bridge, said, "A citizen was passing by here and leaned on the iron. He fell into the water along with the iron. The iron was a bit rusty, I guess. After that, my friend extended the cover. The shopkeepers came and extended a rope and a ladder. He struggled in the water for fifteen minutes. Then, by coincidence, a boat came here. In the meantime, they called the police. They also came. The citizen was pulled out of the water by a civilian boat. His condition was good; they pulled him out alive, but his leg was slightly sprained," he said.

"SOMEONE FELL HERE LAST SUMMER TOO"

Yontürk, noting that such incidents had happened before, said, "A citizen fell here during the summer months. The irons must have rusted, I guess."
