An unconscious man who was pulled from the sea off Sliema Exiles beach on Sunday afternoon has been identified as a 33-year-old Belgian.
Passers-by administered CPR after the man was spotted on the surface of the sea and was pulled ashore.
They were then assisted by an ambulance crew who later rushed the man to hospital.
The man could not be identified initially and the police issued a photo and requested information. They later thanked the public for its cooperation.
