Winnipeg paramedics had to rescue a boy from the Red River on Sunday evening.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) said that just after 6 p.m., they were called about a person in the river who was holding onto a log and being carried downstream from an area between Victoria Crescent and South Drive.
The rescuers launched a boat from St. Vital Park and caught up to the youth north of Tod Drive, around a kilometre away from where he was first spotted.
