A mystery man is being called a hero for saving a child in a lake in upstate New York. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reports that a 911 call came in about a 10-year-old who had fallen out of a kayak into Cossayuna Lake and his mother said he couldn’t swim.
Another child was in a separate kayak and tried to help him, according to police. Cossayuna Fire Chief Pat Donahue responded to the call and saw the boy struggling in the water right before a fisherman in a bass boat saved him and brought him to shore. Emergency personnel brought the boy to an ambulance and while EMS was treating him for hypothermia, the fisherman took off to go fish again.
Not everyone is looking for thanks.

The incident occurred at Cossayuna Lake in Washington County, the Olean Times Herald reports. According to local police, two 10-year-old children were out on the lake in kayaks when one fell out.
The other child apparently wasn’t able to help, but the child who fell in the water reportedly held on to his capsized boat.
