Woman in Pawtucket Canal

While I was at the reported stabbing on Moore Street this evening, about 7:50 p.m., a woman was reported to be in the Pawtucket Canal near Western Avenue and School Street, so I rushed over there.

Police said she did not appear to be in distress and was swimming, but firefighters still went down to the canal to help her get out. I'm told she started to climb the high rock wall to get out, but fell back into the water, and then got a hand from firefighters when she tried to get out a second time.

She then walked away from them, though, until she got into an auto-parts place off Western Avenue, where she is pictured here.

She seemed to be in a bit of distress once she got out of the water, so I'm not sure if she had some issues or what. Trinity took her to a city hospital to get checked out.

If she wasn't in distress when she got out of the canal, she was after Deputy JJ Mulligan (white shirt) got through with her!
