Off-duty NS police officer hailed as hero after rescuing woman from waterfall

An off-duty Truro police officer is being praised as a hero for his brave waterfall rescue over the weekend near Alma, N.B.

While out for a hike with a group of friends at Fundy National Park, Nova Scotian Bruce Lake spotted a woman in trouble, who was clinging to a rock in rough river waters. He was quick to dive into the water to help her.

“It was like a scene out of a bad movie. She went underneath the water and we expected her head to pop up any second and to emerge over towards where we were,” said Dave Brosha, Lake’s friend. “But she didn’t. She just disappeared.”

Global’s Skye Bryden-Blom has the details of the rescue.
