A Chinese woman was dragged out to sea by a big wave in Gozo yesterday and had not been found by the time a search for her was called off last night.

The woman, 27, fell into the sea in Dwejra at about 2pm. A woman who was with her was taken to Gozo General to be treated for shock. The search is being conducted by the police, the AFM and the Civil Protection Department.

A 37-year-old Hungarian man was dragged into the sea at the same spot and rescued. The police are investigating the incidents.
