Man Who Police Searched for in the Norwalk River Found Alive: Report

NORWALK, CT — A man who disappeared in the Norwalk River following a fight has been found alive, and nowhere near the water.

Information about the man was not disclosed, nor were details of the circumstances surrounding his discovery. He disappeared in the water off Wall Street following a fight at the El Mexicano Restaurant on Sept. 16, and though police did not say, he apparently made his way to solid ground.

"He has been located and interviewed by Detectives," wrote Lt. Terrence Blake in an email to Patch. "That is all we are releasing at this time."

The Stamford Advocate reports that the man is a Norwalk resident in his 20s. Police and fire personnel searched for him on-and-off in the water for more than two days. He was one of three to fall into the Norwalk River, but the other two emerged from the water almost immediately.

Norwalk Police Lt. Thomas Mattera told the Advocate that the man will not face charges in connection with the incident.
