Three people seriously injured jumping off cliffs at Durdle Door beach in Dorset
Air ambulances landed at the scene on Saturday afternoon.
Three people have been seriously injured jumping off cliffs into the sea at a beach in Dorset.
Air ambulances landed at the scene at Durdle Door on Saturday afternoon and police are now asking people to stay away from the popular tourist spot.
A post on Poole Police’s Facebook page said people were jumping from the arch at the site, and videos posted on other social media networks show people climbing and making the leap from the 200ft rocks.
HM Coastguard and the RNLI are helping to clear the area after police were called at around 3.45pm.
Chief Inspector Claire Phillips, of Dorset Police, said: “We have had to close the beach at Durdle Door to allow air ambulances to land. As a result, we are evacuating the beach and the surrounding cliff area.
“I am urging people to leave the area to enable emergency services to treat the injured people.”
