The AFM air wing this afternoon rescued a 27-year-old man from Swieqi who fell on the cliff face at Wied Id-Dis near Madliena and injured himself.

Civil Protection Department rescuers, who were first on site, called in the AFM helicopter because the area, under the bridge, could not be reached by ambulance.

The man's fall appeared to have been broken by a prickly pear tree further up the cliff.
