A major emergency service response descended on the Portway after a man reportedly fell into the River Avon today (April 20). Multiple witnesses reported to police that a man fell into the water at around 1pm.
Their search has been temporarily paused due to the river's tide. A few officers remain at the scene and the man has not yet been found.
Police cars, ambulances, the fire service, coastguard boats and a police helicopter were all involved in the search. The road was partially blocked until around 2.50pm when it reopened, although police say that delays remain.
