A 25-year-old man is recovering in the hospital after a near-drowning incident at the Walter P. Carter pool on Saturday evening, according to Baltimore Police.
Authorities reported that on July 26 at about 8:41 p.m., officers were dispatched for a water rescue at the pool.
Officials said the Baltimore Police helicopter, known as Foxtrot, was patrolling the area and responded to the scene. Before Foxtrot landed, officials observed citizens attempting to pull the man from the water.
Realizing the urgency, officials decided to land Foxtrot at the rear of the school. The flight officer exited the helicopter and began performing CPR on the individual. The Baltimore City Fire Department then arrived and took over medical care.
Officials said the man was revived and transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
