CHICAGO (STMW) — Divers rescued a man from the Chicago River Friday night near the River North neighborhood.
Crews responded to the north branch of the Chicago River about 9:40 p.m. near the 400 block of North Canal Street on a report of a man in the water, Fire Media Affairs spokesman Quention Curtis said.
Divers were able to pull the man from the river, and the 37-year-old man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition, Curtis said.
People walking their dogs outside a nearby apartment building called emergency crews and said they saw the man jump into the river, Curtis said.
No divers were hurt during the rescue, Curtis said.
