The first time, the man himself jumped into the water on Friday evening. The police immediately took action and rescued him from drowning with a small boat. He was taken to hospital in an ambulance. You would expect the man to have learned his lesson by now, but nothing could be further from the truth.
On Saturday, the Pole jumped once more into the Amsterdam IJ. A skipper of ferry 65 saw him thrashing about in the water. He threw a life preserver at him. The man was again taken to hospital by ambulance. He was under the influence of alcohol.
