Man Swept Out To Sea Is Named
A man who was swept out to sea at Ramore Head in Portrush, Co Antrim on Saturday has been named by police, according to the BBC.
Polish national, Jaroslaw Andrykiewicz, had been walking across rocks after a fishing trip when he was swept into the sea.
A search for the 38-year-old, who lived in Dungannon, was temporarily suspended on Sunday due to severe weather, but police said they would continue again as soon as it was safe.
They also urged the public not to carry out searches on their own.
In a statement, the PSNI said: "There is a very real risk to life in untrained and inexperienced individuals attempting to undertake this type of work, particularly given the severe weather conditions."
On Saturday, a search involving Portrush lifeboats, Coleraine and Ballycastle coastguard teams, a police helicopter and an Irish coastguard helicopter, was called off at 8pm due to poor light and weather conditions. It resumed on Sunday morning, but was later stopped due to strong winds and rough seas.
