Three people have been seriously injured jumping off cliffs into the sea at a beach in Dorset. Air ambulances landed at the scene at Durdle Door on Saturday afternoon, and police are now asking people to stay away from the popular tourist spot, near Lulworth. A post on Poole police’s Facebook page said people had been jumping from the arch of rocks at the beach, and videos posted on other social media networks show people climbing and making the 200ft leap. Images posted on social media by Purbeck police show helicopters landing on the sand and crowds leaving the beach en masse as the area was evacuated. HM Coastguard and the RNLI are helping to clear the area after police were called at around 3.45pm. Ch Insp Claire Phillips, of Dorset police, said: “We have had to close the beach at Durdle Door to allow air ambulances to land. As a result, we are evacuating the beach and the surrounding cliff area. “I am urging people to leave the area to enable emergency services to treat the injured people.” Pictures taken earlier on Saturday showed the beach busy as the public were reminded to practise physical distancing in the good weather following the relaxation of coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
