Emergency crews helped a man stuck in the Ottawa River behind Mill Street Pub Sunday evening.

Police say the man was found clinging to a ledge and calling for help near 555 Wellington St. around 6 p.m. A spokesperson said it appears the man might have tripped.

Firefighters were able to reach him, put him in a life-jacket and get him to shore, according to a media release. Then crews placed him in a stokes basket to get him up the embankment.

He was then taken to hospital for treatment. There was no word on his condition.
