Rescued fisherman taken to Noble's

A fisherman had to be rescued last night after falling overboard.

The 'Aztec' which was 15-miles south of Douglas made an emergency call to Holyhead Coastguard just after 11pm.

A mayday relay was then put out which saw both Douglas and Port St Mary lifeboats join the rescue effort.

The man was rescued by crew members in the fishing vessel, who then requested further help.

A seeking helicopter winched the man from the boat and took him to Noble's Hospital for treatment.

Michael McDonald is the coastguard operations officer - he gave us this update:
