Florida Teen Jumps Into Murky Canal, Pulls Man To Safety
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - When a 19-year-old auto parts employee heard screams coming from a nearby canal, he stripped to his boxers, jumped into the water and pulled a 56-year-old man to safety.
Nic Berry tells The Daytona Beach News-Journal that he gave the man a bag of chips, a bottle of water and a ride home last Wednesday in New Smyrna Beach. The man told Barry he fell into the water while walking home from a hospital where his wife had been admitted.
The man refused medical help.
Berry's mother, Melody Moses, says she's proud that her son did something "that not a lot of people would've done in a lifetime."
On July 9, three Florida teens stood on a bank and watched a man drown while recording the scene and mocking him.
