Emergency services attended and were able to rescue the woman.

Police then spoke with a man who was accompanying the woman and identified him as having existing warrants to arrest.

It was then established that the woman also had a warrant to arrest.

They were transported to the Henderson Police Station and will be appearing in court tomorrow.
