BURLINGTON, Vermont (WPTZ) -- A man stuck in mud on the Winooski River was rescued by boat Sunday morning.
Once on the scene, the Burlington Fire Department requested the help of the Colchester Fire Department and Colchester Technical Rescue. They said the man was roughly 500 yards downstream from the "Blue Bridge" by the railroad.
The original plan was to rescue the man from the Colchester side of the river, but that was deemed unsafe. After that, Colchester Technical Rescue deployed its boat to safely remove the man from the water.
He was treated for minor injuries and transported to UVM Medical Center. His name has not been released.
