Search for girl missing in Thames suspended
Emergency services responding to reports of a girl missing in the Thames have suspended their search.
His Majesty's Coastguard said it responded on Friday to a report of two children, a boy and a girl, in difficulty in the water near the Royal Terrace Pier in Gravesend, Kent.
The alarm was raised at about 1.35pm.
A boy has since been rescued, but the search for the missing girl has now been suspended.
HM Coastguard said Metropolitan Police boats joined the search operation, alongside the RNLI lifeboat from Gravesend, Kent Police, and a police helicopter.
The South East Coast Ambulance Service was also sent.
The ambulance service said a "male patient was assessed and treated" at the scene. He was taken to a local hospital for further medical treatment.
