OCN Community Member & Police Save Female From River
Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Manitoba
On May 26, 2024, members of the Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS) were called to assist a female who was on the Cornelius Bignell Bridge in Opaskwayak Cree Nation.
At approximately 8:16 PM, members of the Manitoba First Nation Police Service received a report that there was a young female on the Cornelius Bignell Bridge. Police immediately attended the area and found the female under the train bridge; as Police talked to the female, her grip slipped, and she fell into the river. A bystander and MFNP member entered the water and safely returned her to shore with the help of more bystanders. The female was transported to the hospital as a precaution.
MFNPS Would like to thank the community members for their assistance with this incident.
