Emergency services were dispatched to Bryggen in Bergen late Thursday evening following reports of two individuals in the water. It was discovered that a woman had fallen into the sea, and a man had jumped in to assist her. Both individuals were brought back to shore by police officers who arrived at the scene. According to police reports, the woman was initially unconscious but was later described as awake when transported by ambulance.

The incident, which occurred around 11:30 PM, highlights the quick response of the emergency services in Bergen. An operation leader from the police, Bjarte Rebnord, confirmed that both the woman and the man received assistance and that the woman was stabilized before being taken to the hospital. The man was taken to Bergen Legevakt for a medical check-up following his act of bravery in attempting to save the woman.

This event raises awareness regarding safety near water bodies, especially in urban environments like Bergen, where such incidents can occur due to the proximity of attractions to the sea. Prompt responses from the emergency services not only prevent potential tragedies but also emphasize the importance of community vigilance around safety in recreational areas.
