A man had to be rescued on Monday afternoon after falling head first into mud in the River Humber.
Humberside Fire and Rescue were called around 2.30pm after reports that the man in his 30s had got into difficulties at Victoria Pier near Hull Marina.
A water rescue team was drafted in and used horizontal ladders and a rescue sled to drag the man out of the mud before he could be hoisted to safety.
Station manager Sean Magee said: "The man went in head first and we had to act quickly as the tide had turned.
"It was a quick retrieval but, by the time we got him out, the mud had already been covered in water.
"It was an extremely successful rescue and the lads did a really good job."
The man was suffering from the cold and was checked out by ambulance staff on standby but he did not require hospital treatment.
