A large multi-agency search has been launched to help locate a male who was last seen in a river in Northumberland.
Emergency services were called shortly before 4.15pm on Sunday following concerns for the welfare of a male who was seen in the river near to Ovingham in Northumberland. Northumbria Police, the North East Ambulance Service, and Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service all attended the scene while a helicopter was seen hovering above.
Officers said emergency services remain at the scene to locate the male and bring him to safety. They also urged the public to not gather in the area to "allow for those at the scene to carry out their duties".
