Man pulled from creek in Holmesburg
Rescue crews saved a man yesterday who was stuck in the creek at Pennypack Park.
The man became trapped in the water — which was deeper and faster than usual due to the rain — around 11 a.m. near Frankford Avenue and Ashburner Street in Holmesburg. It’s unclear how the man became stuck, as he was reportedly wearing a life jacket. No injuries were reported.
