Two people have been airlifted to hospital after being swept into the sea from a harbour wall.

The pair were plucked from the sea at Mullion Cove in Cornwall at about 18:45 GMT in an operation which involved two RNLI lifeboats and the Mullion coastguard team.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said its rescue helicopter transferred the two people to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro.

Their condition is unknown.
