Seal Beach lifeguard crashes into pier after buoy gets tangled in railing
Seal Beach lifeguard crashes into pier after buoy gets tangled during rescue attempt Seal Beach lifeguard crashes into pier after buoy gets tangled during rescue attempt Seal Beach lifeguard crashes into pier after buoy gets tangled during rescue attempt Good Samaritans helped free a lifeguard from the Seal Beach Pier after his buoy tangled around a railing while he tried to rescue someone. Witness Hayden Nguyen said he watched in horror as the lifeguard swung into the side of the wooden landing early Monday night. "He had the orange buoy strapped to his wrist," Nguyen said. "As he tried to jump, the orange buoy got caught on the railing, and he hung for a few seconds. It was pretty scary." Another witness, Anibal Aguilar, recorded the entire ordeal and was concerned that the impact knocked the lifeguard unconscious. "He dived in full force and just swung and hit the pole really hard," Aguilar said. In Aguilar's video, the lifeguard can be heard telling bystanders that he's alright. People on the pier helped untangle his buoy and threw it into the water. After being freed, the lifeguard swam over to the person witnesses said either jumped or fell off the pier moments before. "I thought he got hurt or something, but he was completely fine, it looked like," Nguyen said. This is the second incident in four days involving a Seal Beach lifeguard. Last week, 20-year-old Isaiah Osorio suffered a severe spinal injury while on duty as a junior lifeguard instructor. Witnesses said a wave tossed him off his surfboard and he hit his head on the ocean floor. "He may never walk again," Osorio's friend Bailey Nadell said. Seal Beach's Marine Safety Department planned to talk about the incidents during a press conference on Wednesday.

Hiker critically injured in 18m fall in Sedgefield
Gericke's Point and the pristine beaches. Gericke's Point. Image: File THE NSRI has hailed the Good Samaritans who came to the rescue of a fellow hiker who was critically injured when he fell between 15 and 18 meters at Gericke's Point, Sedgefield. Having witnessed the fall on Saturday, the hikers rendered first aid to the unresponsive and seriously injured adult man while raising the alarm. NSRI Wilderness duty coxswain Ian Gerber said the EMS/AMS Skymed rescue helicopter was activated by EMS Metro control. 'The patient was stabilised by paramedics and secured into a Stokes basket stretcher and carried about 200 meters to an accessible area for the EMS/AMS Skymed rescue helicopter. The bystander Good Samaritans are commended for rendering assistance to the casualty and for swiftly raising the alarm.' In another rescue, Gerber said the NSRI Wilderness duty crew was activated following a request for assistance from a local mother reporting her 2 children and their grandfather being trapped by the Spring high tide on rocks at Flat Rock, Wilderness. 'They had been fishing on Flat Rock when the incoming Spring high tide cut them off from mainland and the alarm was raised. Our NSRI rescue vehicle, NSRI rescue swimmers and George Fire and Rescue Services responded.' Armed with extra life-jackets and rope, two NSRI rescue swimmers were dispatched to wade and swim through the surf zone to the rock. 'The 3 casualties, a grandfather aged 72 and the 2 boys, ages 10 and 15, were safe on the rock, in good spirits, with their fishing gear, but unable to get back to the shore through the surf. Our NSRI rescue swimmers secured the 3 casualties into life-jackets and a rope extrication system was rigged.' They were safely brought to the shore in the care of the NSRI rescue swimmers without incident. Cape Times

Shocking moment stabbing victim pleads for help on quiet Australian street: 'I'm going to die'
Confronting neighbourhood CCTV footage has captured the moment a man ran door-to-door down a quiet street, begging for help after he was stabbed in the back. Neighbours in Adelaide 's inner-north suburb of Devon Park were woken just after 4am on Monday by a man yelling for help. One doorbell camera from a home on Bedford Avenue captured the man running with his pants around his ankles, clutching at his back as blood poured from his leg. 'I'm going to die, I'm going to die,' the man screamed. In other CCTV footage, the man was heard yelling for someone to 'call an ambulance' as he hobbled down the street. Eventually, a number of residents who heard his desperate pleas for help left their homes to assist the injured man. The residents immediately called Triple-0 and tried to stop the bleeding while they waited for emergency services to arrive. When police arrived at the scene at 4:30am, they found the 28-year-old with multiple stab wounds to his leg, chest, and back. The man was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in serious condition; however, police confirmed his injuries were not life-threatening. Detective Acting Chief Inspector Jeff Lang said on Monday that the man owed his life to the neighbourhood's Good Samaritans. 'Luckily he came to an address where somebody was willing to help. If that didn't occur, then this could have been a very different press conference,' Mr Lang said. Mr Lang said police did not know what type of weapon was used but believed it was 'some kind of bladed weapon'. He added that the 28-year-old was known to police, with investigators believing the stabbing was a targeted attack. 'The behaviour in this attack indicates to police that those involved are known to each other,' Mr Lang said. 'The community should be reassured that we believe this is an isolated incident. 'I want to reassure the community that while this type of attack is serious, we will respond rapidly and appropriately to ensure those involved are placed before the court.' Neighbour Raymond Griffiths explained that he heard the commotion, which was out of character for the area. 'It's normally a quiet area, not much happens here but last night it was different, so one can only hope he's all right,' Mr Griffiths told The Advertiser. 'Yes it's upsetting anyone's been stabbed. I mean that's upsetting enough but these things are going on all the time now.' The stabbing is believed to have occurred in front of a Devon Park business before the 28-year-old walked 200metres into a nearby neighbourhood for help. Police established two crime scenes, with forensic officers seen examining the evidence on Monday. Detectives closed off a large section of Belford Avenue between Bolingbrook and Berwick roads. Parts of Bolingbrook Avenue and Alexander Avenue were also cordoned off as police traced a long blood trail to determine the exact location of the alleged attack. A pool of blood was also seen at the front doorstep of the home where the man sought help. Anyone with information, dashcam or CCTV footage in the vicinity of Devon Park at 4am on Monday is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Good Samaritans Walked Woman Home After She Felt Unsafe — Then They Were Stabbed by Man, Who's Still at Large
Two men, 26 and 29, were stabbed early Saturday in Brooklyn after helping walk a woman home when she felt unsafe, police said About 30 minutes after dropping the woman off at her home, they encountered the same man allegedly stalking another woman Both men were stabbed, but survived; the suspect fled and has yet to be apprehendedTwo men who walked a woman home to make sure she was safe were stabbed in Brooklyn early Saturday, allegedly by the man she said had been following her, according to police. A woman approached two men around 1 a.m. on Saturday near Coney Island Avenue and Cortelyou Road, told them she was being followed and asked for help, per an NYPD statement shared with PEOPLE. The men, 26 and 29 respectively, accompanied the woman to her home in Kensington. Roughly 30 minutes after dropping the woman off, the good Samaritans encountered the same man who had been following the woman while walking near Ocean Parkway — police said he was following a different woman at that point. That's when police said he suddenly attacked, stabbing the younger man in the chest and shoulder and the older man above his eye. The attacker fled the scene and is still at large; both men were taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition, per the NYPD. "My fight or flight definitely kicked in," the initial woman, who did not want to be identified, told CBS. "I was very anxious and afraid.
