I am guessing that this is the same woman I assisted in February when she jumped into the River Stour next to where I was fishing (I am a retired Officer) I called 999 for Police and Ambulance to attend – I managed to pull her out of the River and spoke to her for about an hour – no Police or Ambulance attended and she made her way home (in Durrant) I am happy to speak to PC Lewis if that would help.
