MANISTEE — A man jumped off a bridge into the icy waters of the Manistee River channel on Thursday evening, according to a Manistee City Police Department news release issued on Friday morning.
The department responded to a call of a person who was suicidal at about 6 p.m. on the U.S. 31 bridge in Manistee on Thursday.
The department’s personnel were able to get the man to hold onto a rescue disc while the Manistee City Fire Department personnel and U.S. Coast Guard used ice water rescue efforts to bring the man to shore where he received immediate medical treatment.
Thursday’s water temperature was likely about 33 to 35 degrees, and the air temperature was around 15 degrees at 5:56 p.m., according to the National Weather Service Gaylord office.
The man was transported to Munson Healthcare Manistee Hospital.
As of Friday morning, the man was reported to have been in stable condition.
During the incident, the U.S. 31 bridge was closed to traffic. Since the Maple Street bridge is closed to traffic through April for repairs, some drivers had to detour around Manistee Lake on Thursday evening during emergency response efforts.
The Manistee City Police and Manistee City Fire Departments were assisted by the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Forest Service, Manistee County Sheriff's Office, Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Department of Public Safety and Michigan State Police.
Additional information was not available for release as of Friday morning and the Manistee City Police Department noted that it would share updates when information becomes available.
