Hamilton police search for man seen to fall from bridge
Hamilton Police wish to confirm man who fell or jumped from bridge is ok
Just after midnight on Saturday 20 September a person was seen to jump or fall from the Bridge Street bridge in Hamilton.
Despite an extensive search of the river by boat, the man was not located by Police.
The person is believed to be male, around 6 feet tall and wearing dark clothing including a dark hooded top.
