DOUGLAS | 11 SEPTEMBER
Douglas RNLI lifeboat crew rescued a man who had fallen into the water from Victoria Pier. The volunteers launched their all-weather lifeboat Sir William Hillary at 10.15pm. They found the man accompanied by two police officers who were in the water with him. The lifeboat crew helped the police officers and the casualty onto the lifeboat and the man was taken immediately to the Liner Berth inside the harbour. Paramedics took the man into their care and on to hospital.
