A homeless man was rescued by crews Friday morning in Dallas after he was trapped in a creek, officials said.
The man was sleeping underneath a bridge over Cottonwood Creek to shelter from the rain when the water started rising, police said. The water was ankle-deep and quickly rose to his chest, officials said.
Another homeless man saw him in the water and called 911 about 3:30 a.m.
Dallas Fire-Rescue quickly rescued him using a rope, ladder and vest strapped to the man, officials said.
No injuries were reported and he was hospitalized.
