The video shows first responders walking out onto the ice and using a yellow flotation device to bring the man to safety.

Although no injuries were reported, the man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for observation, authorities said.

The man was given a citation for conduct on a beach jeopardizing his safety, police said.

Many weather alerts and warnings have been issued during the record-breaking cold temperatures across the Chicago Area. People are asked to stay away from the icy lake and not put first responders’ lives at risk.
