A man has been rescued from the sea after falling from a south Wales pier.

A Coastguard helicopter and crews from RNLI lifeboats were called to reports of a man, thought to have been sea fishing, that had fallen from North Pier in Aberavon, Neath Port Talbot.

The man was carried on a stretcher off the pier following the incident at about 15:00 BST on Saturday.

Paramedics assessed the man's condition and his injuries were not thought to have been serious.
