The coastguard and ambulance services attended an incident in Swanpool today after a person was reportedly taken to hospital following a fall.
Eyewitnesses at Swanpool Beach, near Falmouth, described how emergency services reportedly took the casualty to hospital after they were carried in face-down on a canoe.
It is thought the initial rescue allegedly involved a man who is known to hire out canoes in the area and is well-known for giving aid in such situations.
The canoe was carried across the beach by a number of people, with the person allegedly still lying face down on it, and a handover to ambulance crews reportedly took place.
It is believed they had fallen down a cliff, or from rocks, in the vicinity of Pennance Point, however, precise details are yet to be confirmed.
The Packet has contacted Devon and Cornwall Police for comment.
The Packet will publish more information as and when updates are available.
Coastguard Rescue Team guidance says, if you see someone in trouble at the coast, call 999 Coastguard.
