They tried to swim across the river. In the Gomel region, OSVOD workers saved two people in one day

June 22, Gomel. In the Gomel region, OSVOD workers rescued two people within 24 hours, BELTA reports with reference to the regional organization OSVOD.

So, the first incident happened on June 21 at about 18.00 in Lelchitsy, where a 14-year-old boy swam across the river, but was unable to reach the shore. He was rescued by OSVOD workers at the Lelchitsy post.

A similar incident happened this afternoon. "The drunk man decided to swim across the Sozh not far from the rescue station. OSVOD rescuers noticed in time that he began to go under the water and saved him. However, after resting a little, the man rushed into the water again. The rescuers on the waters did not let him drown and called the police because inappropriate behavior was accompanied by aggression. The police officers even had to handcuff the violent vacationer. He was sent for examination,” the regional organization said.

OSVOD recalled thatAlcohol , like carelessness in water bodies, literally drags you to the bottom.
