Coastguard called to help young person at bottom of cliffs

Douglas Coastguard was called to help a young person who couldn’t get out from the bottom of cliffs last night.

At 11.30pm teams responded to the call from Marine Operations in Onchan, where the person was unable to get to the top of the cliffs between Port Jack and Sea Cliff Road.

The boy was able to shine his phone torch so Coastguard teams could locate him, as well as the Harbours CCTV available which could give them a clearer picture of the area.

Once rescued he was checked over - the Coastguard also thanked the Marine Operations Centre for their assistance in what could have been a much more difficult situation.
