"His head went under a couple of times and when his head popped up he was starting to spew out a lot of salt water which had a bit of blood and some foam in it. And that's a fair indication that we see also in people that they're going through a drowning event," one of the police officers said in an interview with 7 News Brisbane.
Both officers leapt into action and ran into the waves to pull the kangaroo back to shore. It was unconscious by the time they pulled it out of the water, though the officers were able to revive it with CPR. Though they later clarified there was no mouth-to-mouth involved in the resuscitation, one of the officers said he had learned to give chest compression to dogs from his veterinarian.

As for the kangaroo, he's now in the care of a wildlife organization and is expected to make a full recovery.
"The roo is currently being cared for but is said to be in good spirits and lucky to be alive given the amount of salt water he inhaled, thanks to his rescuers," Rosebud police said in a statement.
