Plunge couple 'may have been pushed'

A young man and woman who plunged up to 10ft on to rocks on the Co Down coast early today may have been pushed, police said.

A second man, also aged in his 20s, was arrested after the victims suffered head and facial injuries. They were taken to the Ulster Hospital.

The incident happened on Kircubbin’s Shore Road shortly before 3am, police said. A sea wall failed to prevent the fall.

A third man sustained facial injuries.

Detectives appealed for anybody with information to contact them.
