Police appeal after Tay Bridge ‘jump’ incident

Police are appealing for information about a man who was “seen to jump off” the Tay Road Bridge around 3:40pm on New Year’s Day.

The incident sparked an air and sea search of the River Tay which went into the evening, with a coastguard helicopter drafted in to help.

The man is described as white, in his 50s, wearing a dark tammy-style hat, a large black winter coat over a dark green jumper or shirt, grey jeans, and black shoes. Police Scotland said: “We need to identify who he is, along with trying to find him.”
