The accident happened in by the river at Chapman Way, Eynesbury early Saturday evening.
The 65-year-old from Stevenage had fallen into the water and caught his foot in the propeller – amputating it in the process. His wife received a laceration to the forehead.
The Magpas Helimedix team arrived at the scene at 6.42pm where the patient was given emergency care.

As a result, we were able to prevent him losing more blood and we were able to relieve his pain. We wish both the patients a swift recovery.”
