Search For Missing Man In Newcastle Harbour

BY IAN CROUCH

Emergency services swung into action early this morning to search for a missing man in Newcastle harbour.

Security guards noticed the man getting into the water near the Port Waratah coal loader just before 1.30am and called police.

The Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter joined the search just after 3 o'clock but couldn't find any trace of the man.

Police say no-one's been reported missing and they now believe the man managed to get out of the water.
