Tue, 14 Aug 2018

Coastguard crews dealt with a number of incidents during the Tower of Refuge walk, including one woman who injured her wrist.

Team members from Douglas, Ramsey and Castletown were all on cover for Sunday's walk to the Tower at low tide.

Crews helped a child separated from his mother and a woman having an anxiety attack as well as assistant a female who lost her footing resulting in a suspected fractured wrist.

All incidents were dealt with swiftly and the coastguard officers were back at the stations by 8pm.

Port Erin crew were also called out last night after people were spotted walking out to the Tower. The team ensured everyone made it back safely as the tide rose.
