A civilian boater helped rescue a man who had spent at least an hour in the Manatee River Saturday night, police said.
Officers responded just before 9 p.m. Saturday to reports of a man yelling for help in the river near 801 Riverside Drive East, formerly Caddy’s, according to the Bradenton Police Department.
Police said initially they could hear the man calling from the water but could not see him in the darkness.
