'Floods left a woman trapped in her car and I acted on instinct - it was so painful' A hero who waded into freezing flood water to save a woman trapped in her car has told The Mirror he “would do it again.”.
Cimi explained he had already had a dip into the ice cold floodwaters before his daring rescue because he had to turn off the alarm at his pub, The Italian Greyhound restaurant, when a neighbour raised the alarm.
“She was shaking but we gave her first aid and got her in towels.” The woman, who did not want to be named, said: “The people here have been so supportive.
The video shows Cimi wading through waist-high water in the village of Great Glen, Leicestershire, before carrying the woman to safety.
I got her out and got her to safety where we dried her off and got her warm again.
