Police officers have stood down a major search operation of the River Tay in Perth.
Emergency services descended on the River Tay at around 6pm on Sunday, December 29 after passersby heard a man shouting for help.
Specialist police, water rescue and ambulance units lined the street and a search and rescue helicopter joined the search to floodlight the river.
Officers were seen scanning the edges of the river with torches, and others were seen searching the river on a boat.
However, a spokesperson for Police Scotland has now said no further action is needed.
Speaking today (Monday, December 30), a Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called to reports of concern for a person in the vicinity of the Perth Bridge (A85) on Sunday, December 29, 2019.
“Enquiries and a search of the area were carried out, but no further action was required.”
Previously police officers had asked members of the public with any information on the incident to contact them on 101, quoting incident number 2787.
