A helicopter rescue operation was carried out in Mosta on Monday afternoon after a man fell from a bridge on the town's main street. 

Emergency crews were called to Constitution Street after the victim, believed to be a senior citizen, fell down into Wied il-Għasel at around 4.30pm.

The busy road was closed as the helicopter hovered low while the man was hoisted to the aircraft, which then landed at Ta' Qali where an ambulance was waiting.
