A 17-year old teenager was last night rescued from the sea just off Dragonara Point, after his cries for help were heard from the nearby SAS Radisson Hotel.
Aron Borg of Hamrun was found in a semi-conscious state some 500 metres off Dragonara Point by personnel on the AFM’s rescue launch.
He was taken to the army’s Haywharf Base in Floriana from where he was transferred to Mater Dei Hospital by ambulance.
The AFM said Mr Borg appeared to be uninjured but he was evidently suffering from hypothermia, having allegedly been in the water for about three hours.
