Two girls struggling in the water off Park Point Friday evening made it out safely with the help of a stranger.

According to Assistant Duluth Fire Chief Brent Consie, it happened shortly after 7 p.m. off the beach near the 800 Block of South Lake Avenue.

Consie says a girl got in the lake to swim, and was swept off her feet by a rip current and pulled out into deeper water.
