Mounties in Colwood are praising a 911 call-taker for helping to save a woman who was being followed by a cougar in a local park.
The call came in around 5:40 p.m. Friday, according to West Shore RCMP, who said in a news release that the woman was in Latoria Creek Park in Colwood.
"The woman was out for a run on the stairs in the park when she got to the bottom of the stairs she noticed the cougar several meters from her and immediately called 911," police said in their release. The call-taker helped the woman stay calm, advising her to speak to the big cat in a gentle voice and not turn her back on it, police said. The call-taker directed the woman to walk backwards up the stairs and toward the nearest home, then stayed on the phone with her as she did so.""The call-taker did an amazing job and obtained necessary details of the woman’s whereabouts, immediately dispatching officers to the area," said Cpl. Nancy Saggar in the release.
Officers patrolled the area on foot after the woman was safe, but did not locate the cougar, police said, adding that the BC Conservation Officer Service and the City of Colwood have been advised of the incident.
