EMERGENCY services were called to the River Swale in Brompton-on-Swale after reports of a person in the water.
North Yorkshire Police were called at 9.04am to the Brompton-on-Swale caravan park after hearing that a person was in the river and their friend was looking for them.
They were joined in the search by fire crews from Richmond, Ripon, Colburn and Leyburn and at around 9.30am, a woman in her 20s was found near the river by fire and rescue officers.
She refused to cooperate and became aggressive towards emergency services.
She also tried to re-enter the river but was rescued by fire and rescue officers.
The woman was detained under the Mental Capacity Act and taken to hospital by road ambulance.
A search of the river, which was low at the time, was carried out including assistance from the National Police Air Service helicopter.
No-one else was found and officers are satisfied that no-one else was in the river.
