HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — A man was rushed to the hospital after being pulled from the ocean in Hollywood on Sunday, officials said.
According to Hollywood Fire Rescue, the incident happened near Charleston Street.
Officials said a lifeguard performed CPR on the man after he was pulled from the water.
He was then transported to a hospital for further treatment.
A witness told Local 10 News the victim was floating in the water.
“He was not breathing on his own,” the witness said. “He didn’t have a pulse for a couple minutes. Thankfully, with the help of the wonderful lifeguards and ALS team that came within a minute and a half, they ran through the procedure, got his heart started, got him breathing on his own, cleared his mouth of water and salt. Within five minutes, they got control of his breathing and saved his life. It was phenomenal to watch.”
