The Thames River is being searched for a guy who is believed to have fallen into problems.
A hazardous area response team has joined London Ambulance Service paramedics on the riverbank near Hampton Court Palace in Richmond.
Sunday at around 4.15 p.m., a spokeswoman informed MailOnline that they received reports of a person in the water. MailOnline is aware that no one has been located as of yet.
The representative continued, “We have dispatched medical personnel and members of a hazardous area response team.”
As emergency response dinghies sat on the riverside, Metropolitan Police officers were also seen in the vicinity.
A spokeswoman for the police said, “A multi-agency response was initiated at 16:12 hours on Sunday, August 14 in response to a report of a person in the water at Hampton Court.”
Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service, Surrey Police, the National Police Air Service, the London Fire Brigade, the London Ambulance Service, and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution started scouring the river.
However, despite everyone’s best efforts, the guy has not been located.
Efforts are underway to notify all of the man’s relatives as efforts to retrieve him continue. According to witnesses, a male in his ‘late teens’ was swimming in the River Thames when he ran into trouble.
Additionally, a helicopter was seen flying above the area.
Max Taylor, a senior news editor for NBC, was paddleboarding at Hampton Court Palace at the time of the event and interviewed witnesses.
According to Sky News, a boy in his late teens was swimming in the Thames near the Hampton Court bridge.
He yelled for rescue while standing in water up to his waist. They said that they believed he was kidding since he was not in deep water, but seconds after he vanished.
I paddled by and watched the inflatable search boats enter the water and begin searching for the small boy, but it had been at least ten to fifteen minutes since I talked to the couple on the boat.
It comes after a corpse was discovered in a lake near Doncaster on Saturday, after allegations that a man in his twenties had gotten into difficulties in the water.
Yesterday at around 4.10 p.m., emergency services were summoned to Lakeside lake, according to South Yorkshire Police.
A little over two hours later, a teenager went lost in Skegness while swimming in the ocean.
Saturday about 6:15 p.m., emergency personnel responded to reports that a “kid under 16” was in the water.
Police authorities and the coastguard conducted a search until the boy’s corpse was sadly located at about 11:15 p.m. yesterday night.
