A 49-year-old man fell into the Airoli creek in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday night. It took the fire brigade team two hours to bring him back to safe land. Luckily, the low tide helped him survive the ordeal.

According to the statement filed by Pradeep Tekde, the Bhandup resident had gone to the creek to throw flowers, when his mobile phone fell into the water. As he was trying to catch it, he lost his balance and fell into the creek.
