UPDATE: Crews suspend for the night search for man lost in Brays Bayou. Police say he got swept away when he was trying to help two 12-year-olds out of the water. Updates here:
A search got underway Wednesday in Brays Bayou where police say someone trying to rescue a person caught in the water slipped under himself.Swift water and multiple suction points along Brays Bayou are challenging crews trying to look for a man who was trying to help two children who fell in.
The Houston Police Department confirmed crews began searching for the would-be rescuer early Wednesday evening in a portion of the bayou near Highway 288 and South MacGregor Way. Preliminary information from police states a group of people was at the bridge near Almeda and MacGregor when two 12-year-olds got too close, fell in, and needed help.
Two adults went to help and got the kids out, HPD Lt. Larry Crowson said. One adult got out, but a man, believed to be 22 years old, failed to make it to safety. A Houston police helicopter was launched to search the bayou to the ship channel area. Officers and firefighters also looked at other points along the bayou, and a dive team made it out, though, police said divers weren't likely to go in Wednesday night.For more on this story, follow Jessica Willey on
