Drunk Frenchman attempts to resuscitate 'dying' rubber dinghy

A drunk young man in France tried to resuscitate a rubber dinghy in a shipyard which he believed was a person who was about to die.

French police officers found the 22-year-old behaving strangely in the early hours of Sunday in the shipyard in Vannes in Brittany, near an area which houses several nightclubs and late-night bars.

"He was underneath a boat, on his knees, trying to resuscitate a rubber dinghy," police told Le Télégramme de Brest newspaper.

The would-be hero had called emergency services and told them to rush an ambulance to the site before he set about his own rescue attempt.
