The incident happened at around 2.30am on Sunday, 31 July.

He has currently being treated at the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine.
Paddy McLaughlin, Red Bay RNLI Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer, said: "The man was very unfortunate to fall where he did last night and we would like to wish him a speedy recovery from his ordeal.
"This was a great example of a community working well together to come to someone’s aid.
