A man who drowned in an Arizona lake last month begged for help — but local cops didn't rescue him.
"I'm not jumping in after you," one cop told Sean Bickings before he drowned, according to a police transcript.
The three Tempe police officers who didn't step in were put on paid leave as authorities investigate.
A man drowned in an Arizona lake last month and as he pleaded for help, struggling in the water, local cops standing by refused to rescue him, according to officials and a police body camera footage transcript.
"I'm drowning," Sean Bickings, 34, told Tempe Police Department officers during the May 28 incident at Tempe Town Lake, according to a video transcript released by the city and reviewed by Insider.
One officer responded to Bickings, "Okay, I'm not jumping in after you," moments after another cop instructed Bickings to head over to a pylon, the transcript shows.
"Please help me. Please, please please," Bickings pleaded, according to the transcript. "I can't touch. Oh God. Please help me. Help me."
Bickings, whom city officials described as an "unsheltered Tempe community member," ultimately drowned after he jumped into the lake but wasn't able to swim.
Tempe police referred Insider to the city when asked for their response to the incident. In a statement, Tempe City Manager Andrew Ching and Police Chief Jeff Glover called Bickings' death "a tragedy."
