Police were called to a water rescue Monday afternoon following an accident near the Hanover Street Bridge that left two individuals in the Patapsco River.

According to Baltimore Police spokesman Vernon Davis, officers responded to the 2400 block of Hanover Street around 4 p.m., where a witness reported that one vehicle lost control and struck a parked car, causing one person to be knocked into the water.

A second individual then dove in to save the person in the water. Both were on the rocks under the bridge and out of the water when officers arrived.

Police said the two were fishing on the bridge when the incident occurred.

Both individuals were taken to hospitals to be evaluated. The driver was transported to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
