The lifeboat crew were paged at 2316, on arriving at the station we were met by local Coastguards who informed us of a possible suicidal 20-year-old male threatening to jump into the sea from the gangway of the all weather lifeboat station. Police were with him and attempting to talk him out of jumping.
The inshore lifeboat and crew were prepared for sea and discreetly pushed out from the boathouse in readiness should the youth decide to jump.
At 1128 the lifeboat and crew were stood down as the Police had apprehended the youth and were taking him into safe custody.
The ILB was put away and was ready for service once more at 2340.
