The Conwy Lifeboat team went to the vessel and stabilised the casualty.

The team then brought him back to Conwy Lifeboat house, while the Coastguard Rescue Team cleared the area and assisted the Welsh Air Ambulance with their landing site.

The man was then taken to hospital to receive treatment.

While this was happening, another vessel almost got into trouble as it came into mooring on the ebbing tide.

Llandudno Coastguard added: “Conwy bridge has very fast flowing water and is especially treacherous at mid tides.

“Fortunately, the boat managed to steer itself away from another vessel and on the third attempt they made it on to their mooring.

“A close call that caused much excitement to onlookers.

“Working together on multiagency operations, it is always a privilege to see the professionalism and care given to casualties from all involved.”
