Wales Air Ambulance were tasked with tending to an incident at Tenby harbour on Sunday night (October 2) after a young boy required assistance due to a fall around the area, and suffered a suspected broken leg.

Tenby’s RNLI lifeboat crew were paged shortly before 7 pm to assist with pain relief for the seven-year-old that had fallen off a ladder on the pier at the Harbour.

With the Welsh Ambulance Service extremely busy and having no assets available, members of the crew were soon on the Harbour beach where the casualty was already being attended to by members of Tenby Coastguard Rescue Team.

The casualty, who had suffered a suspected broken femur, along with injuries to both wrists, was given pain relief to try and make him more comfortable until the arrival of the Welsh Air Ambulance.

A spokesperson for the Air Ambulance said: “Our overnight crew arrived on scene at 8.12 pm.

“Following treatment at the scene from our on-board medics, we airlifted the patient to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. Our involvement concluded at 10.31 pm.”
