00:00Lancashire Police have released a video showing the moment a heroic police officer jumped into action after spotting a woman in danger in Blackpool.
00:08While PC Nelson was chatting to the public during the Ride the Lights event on Tuesday,
00:13his attention was brought to a woman who had slipped on the sea defence wall as the tide was starting to rise rapidly.
00:19Knowing the danger she'd be in, PC Nelson, along with his colleagues Sergeant Hicks, PC Dixon and PC Walker, ran to her aid.
00:28The dramatic bodycam footage shows him throwing the woman a life ring before pulling her to safety.
00:34The force said while the lady was shaken, she received medical attention and has now made a full recovery thanks to PC Nelson's incredibly swift actions.
00:43Here's the footage.
01:28Right, take a good firm hold of that rope.
01:31And what we're going to do is we're going to pull you up and I need you to walk.
01:34Are you ready? Are you ready?
01:37Walk, walk, it's okay.
01:39Hold on tight.
01:40Hold on tight.
01:41Hold on tight.
01:46It's alright, keep, keep going.
01:49Well done guys, well done.
01:53I've got you, I've got you.
01:55Right, get in, get in.
01:57Well done sweetheart.
01:59There you go.
02:00It's okay, it's okay.
02:01Come here, come here, come here.
02:03Get this off, get this off.
02:05Listen, listen, you're fine, you're okay.
02:09Sweetie, I'll wash your name.
02:11Sorry.
02:12Sweet, sweet, sweet.
02:14I need to get you out of here because water's still coming up off there and I just want you to slip in down.
02:18Take a deep breath, ready?
02:21A couple of big steps back.
02:22Hold my hand.
02:24You hold this.
02:25Okay, stop.
02:26Right.
02:27Backwards.
02:32Move back a little.
02:35Well done.
02:36You okay?
02:37Well done.
02:38Come on.
02:43Hey, you alright?
02:45You're up.
02:50You're up.
