The Swanage and St Albans Coastguard teams were exercising tonight just off the Parish Slipway when they were alerted to an incident on the stone quay.
The water rescue exercise of a person fallen from the sea wall suddenly took a twist for real when a 55 year old male jumped down off the wall at the stone quay landing 5 feet below injuring his ankles.
The teams immediately provided first aid and treated the male for a potential spinal and neck injury along with his ankles.
An ambulance was tasked and with the help of the Coastguard recovered him back over the sea wall to the ambulance.
