A drunk man fell off a 100ft cliff but then got up and ran away before anyone could help. He couldn't be found, not even by a police helicopter.
The boozer took a tumble off Hengistbury Head cliff, Dorset, at 4.16pm on Monday.
Many members of the public had seen the incident and reported it to the emergency services.
