A man was plucked from a raging river in Ayrshire tonight as a volunteer lifeboat crew saved his life.
The dramatic scenes shortly after 7pm in Girvan saw the casualty "hanging on by his fingertips" to the wooden jetty in front of the RNLI lifeboat station.
Crew members heard the man crying for help after he had fallen into the river and been dragged by the fierce current on the back of Storm Franklin.
