Romanian tourist Andreea Cristea fell into the water when a terrorist drove a four-wheel-drive vehicle along Westminster Bridge’s pavement.

Staff onboard City Cruises’ Millennium Diamond boat spotted Cristea in the water.

Although they could not fish her out of the water themselves, the crew alerted a nearby fire service boat, which was able to get Cristea out of the Thames.

Kyle Haughton, City Cruises’ managing director, said: “City Cruises’ Millennium Diamond was in the area of the incident at the time and worked alongside London’s emergency services to support in the rescue efforts of a woman in the water.
