On Dec. 25, a woman was seen floating in the water near the shore of Lobster Bay, Lung Ha Wan, Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong. A quick-thinking angler used his hook and line to bring her to shore. She was later taken to the hospital by the government’s rescue helicopter.

To a request for information, the Government Flying Service (GFS) clarified that the incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. on Christmas Day when it received a report that someone had fallen into the water near the shore of Lobster Bay. By the time the helicopter arrived at the scene, the woman had already been rescued by an angler and others. The woman was conscious without any injury but feeling cold and dizzy. She was subsequently taken to the Eastern Hospital.
