A man was rescued on Sunday afternoon after he could not return to shore in heavy seas when swimming in the outer part of Grand Harbour off the area known as Taħt iz-Ziemel.

The man was hauled onto a dinghy belonging to the Civil Protection Department before being transferred to an AFM rescue launch for medical treatment.
