The Volusia Sheriff’s Office in Florida shared harrowing footage of the rescue of a woman from the ocean at New Smyrna Beach on Saturday.
The footage, which appears to be from an officer’s body camera, shows an officer charge into the shallow water and begin pulling the unresponsive woman from the water.
Once the officer began dragging the woman to safety, it appeared that another individual stepped in to help the officer move her.
“This morning, at 10:15 a.m., deputies were flagged down for a swimmer in distress in the ocean in New Smyrna Beach. Deputy Gourley quickly located the victim in the water floating face down and pulled her to shore. The woman was unresponsive and without a pulse. Deputy Gourley and Deputy Manhart immediately began CPR and were able to revive the 68-year-old woman,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post.
