Boat heroes Steven Tait and Tony Scott, who rescued a man from the Tyne on Monday

TWO hero boat workers helped save the life of a man who fell from the High Level Bridge into the River Tyne.

Tony Scott and Steven Tait work for the firm Sentry Boats, and their job is to ensure the safety of those working on the Tyne Bridge renovation works.

However, on Monday morning they were shocked to hear shouts of someone in distress just upriver after they fell from the High Level Bridge.

Fortunately, they were able to pull the casualty from the water and get them to safety.
