A YOUNG boy has been pulled from the sea at Ryde after getting into difficulty.

Bembridge Coastguard Rescue Team and Isle of Wight Ambulance Service helped deal with the incident along Ryde Esplanade, near Peter Pan's Playground.

It is believed a member of the public helped pull the child from the water, before the emergency services reached the scene.
