by Tom Ozimek

A police officer in Florida jumped into a body of water dressed in full gear to save a drowning child with autism.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said on Aug. 31 that one of its officers “happened to be in the area on another call” when someone contacted emergency services about a disabled child drowning.

The responding officer was identified by CBS47 as Officer Matthew Reddish.

“He quickly was able to respond to the scene,” the JSO wrote in a post on Facebook, adding that Officer Reddish then jumped in wearing “full gear because time was of the essence, swam to the center of the pond, and brought an autistic, non verbal, child out of the water.”

The child was reunited with his family and is safe, the sheriff’s office said.
