Emergency crews had to be called out after a man fell into the water at a popular waterfall in Powys.
Brecon Mountain Rescue Team confirmed that one person suffered head and back injuries in the incident, which occurred earlier this month in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, formerly known as the Brecon Beacons.
The incident at Lower Blaen-y-Glyn waterfall occurred on Thursday, October 16, and involved a male casualty, the team said. The Welsh Ambulance Service had also been called to the scene and called on the mountain rescue squad for help.
A statement from Brecon Mountain Rescue said: "We were called to assist Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust with a male who had fallen into water at Lower Blaen-y-Glyn, Talybont-on-Usk.
"The casualty had suffered head and back injuries and was treated on scene before being rewarmed and evacuated to a waiting ambulance on a vacuum mattress."
