Woman searches for Norwich man who helped in mud rescue

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 11:31 · Archive

A London woman trapped in mud at Rutland Water is searching for a Norwich man who came to her aid.

Kish Modasia from London became stuck thigh-deep in mud while enjoying a walk at Rutland Water, a beauty spot in the East Midlands. A man who introduced himself as 'Brent, like the football club' was sitting nearby on a bench and came to her aid. He had been on a day trip from Norfolk.

Brent attempted to help by fetching sticks, hoping they might assist, but became stuck himself – first while trying to help Modasia, then again up to his knees while retrieving the sticks. When Modasia sought help from the nearby Rutland Hotel and Spa, the receptionist declined to assist, telling her to call emergency services herself.

Modasia called 999 and three fire engines attended the scene. Firefighters extracted Brent from the mud, but a specialist rescue team from Leicester was needed to free Modasia, who remained trapped for two and a half hours total. After her rescue, Modasia told Brent to go and enjoy the rest of his day trip. They parted without exchanging contact information, leaving Modasia unable to thank him properly. She is now searching for the man, describing him as providing vital morale support during the ordeal.
