A man in his 50s had to be rescued after falling 20 feet down a bank late at night.

Firefighters were called to the man's aid as the place he had fallen was difficult to reach.

The man was treated at the scene by ambulance crews before being taken to hospital. The extent of his injuries are not yet known.
