In the wee hours of Friday, Dec. 15, someone called 911 about a man who had become stranded on a fountain in the middle of an lake in Orlando, Florida.
Police and fire rushed to the area at about 4 a.m., where they saw a man standing on the iconic Linton E. Allen Memorial Fountain in Lake Eola shivering in shorts and a life jacket.
The Orlando Police department says someone heard the man yelling for help and called 911.
As rescuers got the man into a motorboat and then loaded him onto a stretcher to be taken to the hospital, he can be seen in WFTV9 footage visibly shaking. He was able to talk, however.
The man’s name and whether he had a medical condition or used substances that may have contributed to his getting marooned have not yet been released.
