All the emergency services were involved in a river rescue in the heart of York last night (Saturday).
They were called to Ouse Bridge at 10.33pm.
A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Crews from York and Acomb responded to a report of a female on the wrong side of railings threatening to jump in the river.
“Crews stood by whilst ambulance crews liaised with the female and brought her over to the right side of the railings.
“The female then fled from the ambulance crews and fire service crews assisted in locating the female who was again threatening to jump in the river.
“Crews stood by whilst police officers negotiated with the female and brought her back into the care of ambulance crews.
“The incident was left with the police and ambulance crews.”
