A 78-year-old man almost drowned after he drove down the boat launch at Bayfront Park around 9:30 p.m. ET Thursday, with his vehicle ending up in Hamilton Harbour.
Shawn MacNeil and Wes Kassem were fishing at Bayfront Park when they noticed the man's white car half-submerged in the water.
Hamilton police say MacNeil, who jumped in to rescue the man, is "a brave citizen" who "made every effort to rescue the driver," and the driver was "taken to hospital in non-life-threatening condition."
