Fire officers are cutting through a rock to rescue a man trapped while the tide comes in with the water up to his neck, the Coastguard has said.
Cromer and Sheringham Coastguard Rescue Teams were sent along with Sheringham RNLI Lifeboat, Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service, Norfolk Police and East of
England Ambulance Service after a 999 call was received just after 5.30pm.
Emergency responders are at the scene helping to reassure the man and holding his head about the water. He has also been given breathing apparatus and a lifejacket.
Zach Pedley from HM Coastguard said: “This is a very frightening experience for this man. Thankfully someone knew to call 999 and ask for the Coastguard which meant we could send the right response immediately. Everyone is working together at the scene to keep him calm and safe as we effect the rescue.”This is a breaking news story and will be updated. Follow HuffPost
