AN 80-year-old Australian tourist who plunged 30 metres off a cliff in Cornwall was saved when his clothing caught on brambles, rescuers say.
They say the man slipped off a cliff path in Mount Edgcumbe Country Park but narrowly avoided falling down the last vertical drop onto rocks when his clothes became snagged.
Passing yachtsmen heard the man's cries for help and raised the alarm at about 11.30am local time on Wednesday.
Coastguards and Ministry of Defence Police rushed to the scene, where they found the man slowly slipping towards the vertical drop.
A spokesman for the police said Brixham Coastguard requested help from the Defence Police Marine Unit at HM Naval Base Devonport, Plymouth and vessels on warship escort in Plymouth Sound answered the call.
"They lowered him to the rocks below where a team from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency administered first aid.
"The injured man was placed on a stretcher and transported across Plymouth Sound on the MoD Police RIB to a waiting ambulance at Mill Bay," the spokesman said.
Inspector Gordon Peter, the marine unit commander, praised his officers for saving the walker from "serious injuries".
