FIREFIGHTERS have this evening rescued a man who fell into a North Yorkshire river.
The man, in his mid-fifties, fell into the River Foss at the rear of Castle car park, off Clifton Street in York, at about 8.15pm.
Fire crews used a triple extension ladder, lifejackets and lines to reach the man, who was taken to hospital by ambulace for precautionary checks.
