A FOOLISH swimmer who dived into a flooded Worcester river should not have been fined says a city man who has lodged an official complaint with police. We reported last month how a man jumped off the main bridge in Worcester wearing nothing but his boxer shorts before swimming towards Diglis, sparking a major rescue operation involving three emergency services. Around 20 firefighters (four crews) were dispatched to the scene and remained there for close to two hours as boats swept the river, searching for the man. However, city resident Andrew Brown has written a letter of complaint to West Mercia Police s professional standards department, arguing that the man, who handed himself in after a police appeal, should not have faced any punishment for either a public order offence or under Covid regulations.
