Two police officers are being hailed as heroes by their deputy chief after rescuing a man who had fallen into the ocean near Victoria prior to a Remembrance Day ceremony on Saturday. When Stewart and Payne responded, Payne spotted a man clinging to the side of a sailboat moored in the bay. Stewart then flagged down a passing boater and made his way out to the man. "With [the passerby's] help, we got over to the man and pulled him from the water to the safety of the boat," Stewart said. Quick turnaroundAccording to Stewart, the man was in his late 50s and fell into the water by accident when climbing from his boat into a dinghy.
