Police received a report around noon on August 4 that a man was swimming near a park, where heavy vessel traffic made the situation particularly dangerous. After a coordinated search by land and water, officers located the man, according to multiple media reports.
However, the man initially refused to board the police boat. Officers then learned that he intended to swim across the Yangtze River to Shanghai to avoid paying for transportation, according to Jiangsu TV.
The section of the Yangtze in Nantong is wide and has strong currents, while the main shipping channel is busy with passing vessels. The attempt posed serious risks not only to the man himself but also to the safety of vessels navigating the river, policemen said, per media reports.
After nearly 30 minutes of persuasion, the man finally abandoned his plan and boarded the police boat. He had by then spent about two hours in the water and was exhausted, suffering from severe leg cramps. Police officers provided him with food and water and took him to a police station to rest.
The police later identified the man as a native of Linyi, East China's Shandong Province, and found that he had a mental health condition. They contacted his family and the Nantong rescue center and arranged for him to undergo a psychiatric assessment.
His family subsequently took him back to Shandong and thanked the officers for rescuing him.

He added that "it is an honour for Livingston to host a visionary who reminds us that humanity shines brightest when it celebrates diversity."The event opened with remarks by Shashank Singh, founder of Indians in Livingston (IIL) and Bakstage.AI. He said, "Onir’s films have touched countless lives and his storytelling continues to bridge cultures and conversations around the world." This Award comes to Onir after being conferred the Icon Award at the International South Asian Film Festival, Canada for consistently creating cinema that "pushes boundaries, highlights underrepresented voices, and sparks dialogue around issues often left outside the mainstream." Onir's latest release includes the movie We Are Faheem and Karun. The movie has already been screened in several film festivals, including the Dharamshala International Film Festival. During an exclusive interview with Filmfare, Onir had opened up about the response he received at several film festivals. "For me, the first international screening was at BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival, which is one of the largest queer film festivals. Within the first two days, both the shows were totally sold out. It was really overwhelming. There's a lot of love that I found from the audience," he noted.Also Read: Filmmaker Onir Honoured With The Icon Award at ISAFF Red Carpet Gala in Vancouver。
