Officers battle to drag woman from fast-flowing water
A woman who fell into fast-flowing water in Horgos, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, was rescued by police officers and auxiliary officers on patrol. The strong current made the first rescue attempt difficult, but auxiliary officer Zhou Qingfeng jumped into the water a second time and held the woman's head above the surface to prevent her from choking. Officers then formed a human chain downstream and pulled her to safety. After emergency treatment at the scene, the woman's vital signs stabilized.
