Isle of Wight waves almost drag man and child into sea

A man and a child he was carrying on his back were nearly swept into the sea by a huge wave on the Isle of Wight.

They were filmed walking on the seafront at Freshwater during stormy weather at the weekend.

A wave then knocked the man off his feet and dragged him and the child towards the sea as onlookers rushed to help.

Emergency services have urged people to exercise extra caution during stormy weather.
