This is the moment a police officer in Jersey was caught on camera being swept away by a huge wave.

The footage was filmed by a passing motorist on a dashboard camera as the Channel Islands, like the rest of Britain, was battered by heavy rain and strong winds.

In a later posting underneath the video, the YouTube user said they had contacted the female officer, who was left ‘bruised but otherwise fine’.

In response to criticism of the clip, they added: ‘Just to let you know she got straight back up and carried on waving us on, we wouldn’t have posted this if we thought she wasn’t ok.’


Inclement weather conditions are wreaking havoc in coastal towns across Britain, with a bus carrying 14 passengers left stranded on the seafront after it was hit by a wall of water in Wales.
