PSNI Save Man In Foyle As Lagan Missing Still Sought
While the emergency services are today searching part of the River Lagan in Belfast for a man believed to have fallen in overnight, an 18-year-old man has been successfully rescued from the River Foyle in Londonderry.
Police were called to Queen's Quay following reports that a man was in the water at about 2.15am on Monday.

He was taken to hospital, but, is "not expected to suffer any lasting effects".
Meanwhile, after reports that a man was seen in the water in the early hours of Monday morning in the Lagan, a search is focused on a section of the river close to Queen's Bridge.
