The emergency services are involved in a rescue operation at Cavehill Country Park in north Belfast.

A 20-year-old woman is believed to have fallen and she has been airlifted to hospital.

A man whose son found a handbag raised the alarm.

"My son and his friends were up jogging round the mountain and found a handbag and identification," he said.

"They started to look around and they saw a lady lying down the cliff.

"They climbed down the hill and found she was still alive. The alarm was then raised," he told the BBC.

BBC News NI's Louise Cullen, who is at the scene. said the helicopter appeared to have lifted the woman to an ambulance waiting in an accessible area.

She said it would seem the woman was found lying close to or among trees at the foot of a cliff face close to a part of the mountain known as Napoleon's Nose.
