A man who suffered a broken leg at the bottom of a flat area of rock along the Jurassic Coast triggered a multi-agency response.

The incident took place at Dancing Ledge near Langton Matravers.

Rescuers joined forces to help the man be evacuated from the sloping ledge.

The Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance was scrambled to the scene yesterday, Thursday, June 15.

Swanage police officers, paramedics, coastguards and both Swanage lifeboats attended the incident.

Police officers used Rowena, their Yamaha Rhino ATV, to help transport the medical kit to the location of the incident.

The casualty was then taken to hospital.
