Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews rescued a person from the Assiniboine River on Wednesday night.

Crews were told there was a person moving down the river with the current near the Assiniboine Park Footbridge at about 10:18 p.m.

Crews set up at points east of the location, and a WFPS rescue crew brought the person to safety near Ferry Road and Park Boulevard North.

The person was transported to hospital in stable condition.

“At this time, it is not known why the individual came to be in the water,” the WFPS said in a news release Thursday.
