Cop saves kangaroo from drowning after it fell off pier into water.
In a heroic and heartwarming act, a young police officer and a group of local fishermen came to the rescue of a distressed kangaroo that had leaped into a river in New South Wales. The incident took place at the Clyde Street Wharf in Batemans Bay, where the kangaroo had caught the attention of a concerned local named Josh Nascimben.

As Nascimben watched with worry, he tried to come up with a way to save the poor animal. However, he quickly realized that jumping into the river himself would only put both him and the kangaroo in danger. Just as he was about to give up hope, a passing police officer named Tevita Tuivaga sprang into action.

Constable Tuivaga had also noticed the kangaroo jumping into the water and wasted no time in commandeering a small boat and enlisting the help of two nearby fishermen. Together, they managed to grab hold of the kangaroo's legs and arms and guide it towards the shore. It was a sight to behold as this unlikely team of rescuers worked together to save the struggling animal.

For Nascimben, it was a relief to see the rescue unfold before his eyes. He described it as "really good" and was impressed by the swift and efficient response from the police and fishermen. He commended them for not only being in the business of saving human lives but also for their willingness to help nature's creatures.

Constable Tuivaga, who had only been in the police force for a short time, never imagined his day would involve rescuing a kangaroo. His actions were met with praise from the NSW Police South Coast District, who now affectionately refer to him as their "own Steve Irwin". The news of this heartwarming rescue even reached Tuivaga's hometown in Sydney's south-west, where his former classmates were left in awe of his unexpected encounter with a kangaroo.

In a world where we often hear negative stories, it's refreshing to see acts of kindness and compassion towards animals. This rescue serves as a reminder that our police officers not only protect and serve humans but also have a deep respect for nature and its creatures.
