A rescue operation took place at the North East coast after a man was found injured in a rock pool.
The man, who is in his 30s, was seen staggering towards the lower promenade in Whitley Bay at around 10.30pm on Tuesday, before disappearing from view.
He was discovered in a rock pool beneath a 20-foot drop by a team of Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade and ambulance crew, who provided first aid and took him away on a stretcher over the rocky terrain. It is thought he fell down a set of steps in the area.
