A landlord waded into the sea to save someone who had jumped in the water.

The RNLI were called to the scene near the inner harbour, Ramsgate, at around 11.30am yesterday.

Natacha Crome of the Mariners Bar rang the port control to launch the lifeboat, while her husband Jason Crome (who is also second mechanic & helm of Ramsgate Lifeboat) attended the scene.

He waded in down the access steps and pulled the person out of the water all before a full lifeboat crew had assembled.

With the help of ambulance staff and fire crew, the person was carried up the steps and placed onto the awaiting stretcher.
