Emergency services will consider today whether to resume their search for a man who reportedly plunged from the Itchen Bridge.

The search was called off at 11.40pm last night more than five hours after the search began.

A Maritime and Coastguard Agency helicopter, police launch and lifeboats were among those searching underneath the bridge after it was reported that someone had fallen into the water.

A spokesman for Hampshire Police said search teams would reassess the situation this morning.
