Firefighters from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service have responded to a report of a man who had fallen and become stuck in a precarious position up a high bank this afternoon (Sunday).
The fire service mobilised several appliances from Newport and Ryde to the scene on Froglands Lane at approximately 13:35, although the crews from Ryde were stood down before arriving at the incident.
The Isle of Wight Ambulance Service also attended, sending 1 ambulance to assess the man for any sign of injuries sustained during his ordeal.
A swift rescue operation was carried out and the casualty was brought safely back to the ground within just minutes of the crew’s arrival.
Glad he didn’t ‘Croak’ it.
In poor taste, but funny

Bankclosure coming?
