Child helplessly blown out to sea on inflatable unicorn to onlookers' horror

A young child was seen drifting helplessly out to sea on an inflatable unicorn by horrified onlookers who sparked a massive rescue operation in Scotland.

Coastguard teams rushed to the scene after reports that a youngster had been blown far from the beach by winds in North Ayrshire, around 4pm last Sunday.

Luckily a paddleboarder and a jet skier had also seen the child in distress off Stevenston Beach and were able to come to the rescue, reported the Daily Record.
