A man had to be rescued by fire crews after getting stuck on the banks of the River Weaver by Welsh Row in Nantwich.

The incident happened at about 1.30am today (October 29).

A full-scale response was issued when revellers raised the alarm after reports a man had fallen into the Weaver from Welsh Row bridge.

When they arrived at the incident, they found a man had scrambled to an embankment where he was stuck under the bridge about five metres down.

Firefighters used a seven-metre ladder to rescue the man.

Two fire engines and a rescue boat from Chester, one fire engine and the technical response unit from Knutsford, along with one fire engine from Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service’s Whitchurch station.

It’s not thought the man, who has not been identified, was injured in the incident.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
