This is the moment a paraglider had a lucky escape after jumping from 150ft scaffolding into a tree.

The man, aged in his 40s, is believed to have jumped from the top of a building along Manor Road in Bournemouth, Dorset.

He plunged straight down in front of the building where he snagged his canopy in the branches of a tree 30ft above the ground.

The incident was witnessed by a member of the public who raised the alarm, sparking a multi-agency response.

Crews from the police, fire service and an ambulance attended the scene.

A technical rescue team used an aerial ladder to get close enough to him to safely cut him down before bringing him back to the ground.

He was assessed by paramedics at the scene.
