RNLI rescued two people in Wexford Town last night after a suspected suicide attempt.
A trained lifeguard sitting on Wexford’s quay front told South East Radio this morning that a man walked up to him and said he wanted to “end it all.” The man then jumped into the water.
The lifeguard jumped in after him and kept him afloat using a life buoy until the RNLI arrived. The lifeboat reached the scene seven minutes after the volunteer crew members had been paged. The RNLI brought both the man and the lifeguard to safety.
Speaking to South East Radio, the lifeguard praised the RNLI for its rapid response.
