POLICE have stopped searching today for a 16-year-old girl who was seen falling from the Humber Bridge, but have said they will continue tomorrow.
Emergency services were called to the bridge shortly before 9am yesterday following reports of a girl who was threatening to harm herself.
Humberside Police said the girl was then seen to fall from the structure as officers arrived.
The teenager is a former pupil of Wolfreton School in Kirk Ella and from the west Hull area.
The school and friends have paid tribute to the girl as the search continued early today.
Today the rescue services have undertaken large scale river bank and river searches.
They have also asked members of the public not to conduct their own searches on the foreshore.
A spokesman for Humberside Police said: "The land searches have covered from Paull to Brough Haven, as well as East Halton to the Humber Bridge.
"River searches have also been completed with more planned for tomorrow.
"Members of the public are being urged not to undertake their own searches for the girl."
