A woman was rescued Sunday night after climbing onto the rocks in the bay outside an upscale seafood restaurant on the Embarcadero in San Francisco, authorities said.

The rescue occurred about 9 p.m. at 399 The Embarcadero, just outside Waterbar, said Lt. Jonathan Baxter of the San Francisco Fire Department.

Firefighters and medics removed the woman from rocks within minutes and transported her to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

It is unknown how or why she got onto the rocks, Baxter said.

“It didn’t appear to be anything nefarious,” he said. “She was injured, she was alone and she was definitely in need of being rescued.”

The woman was not identified.
