A video taken in the coastal town of Ilfracombe, Devon, shows a girl being forcefully knocked down by a massive wave during the high tide.
A video that has gained significant attention online shows a girl getting carried away by the ocean currents while playing near the waterfront in Devon, United Kingdom. She was eventually saved by a person who bravely battled the waves to reach her and bring her to safety. Thankfully those involved only suffered minor injuries, which were treated by Ilfracombe RNLI.Playing around the slipway in volatile conditions, and activities such as tombstoning can be extremely dangerous and we urge members of the public to act safely at the harbour.
As the video starts, a group of four children is seen playing on the pier slipway. However, a forceful wave unexpectedly struck, causing the girl to lose her balance and be carried between the railings, ultimately leading her into the sea.
The North Devon Council shared the video on Twitter along with an urgent warning, urging the public to exercise caution when faced with high tide conditions.
