 What began as a call to investigate a suspicious person at Bob Amos Park quickly turned into a rescue operation when the man reportedly fled from police, scaled the cliff in the Pikeville cut-through, and jumped into the Big Sandy River. Police were called around noon on Tuesday to check on the man, but when they arrived the man ran away, leading to the rescue effort. He somehow managed to scale the high wall here, dropped into the river, swam the river, got to the other side of the river. He got trapped on one of the ledges. We've got Pikeville fire in this here, we're going to repel down with a basket and get him off the bed. We also have our boat in the water right now, make sure that we press follow, make follow so that they've got that part of it. So we're going to bring him up. This is turning to a rescue now. We'll see what the middle state and the physical state of the individual is now. Getting to the man turned out to be the easy part. Getting him out of the cut-through turned out to be significantly more difficult. Once we located him, it appeared the veil was combative. We sent rescuers down via repel rope and obtained the victim. Went ahead, secured him on a soaked basket, performed a high-angle rescue with the help of the police and other additional units. We hauled him up with the haul system and safely secured him up here on the side of the roadway. Once he was successfully retrieved, the man was placed under arrest. His identity and the charges against him were not known at press time. Miraculously, he suffered no injuries other than to complain of a sore shoulder.
