FIREFIGHTERS had to rescue a young cyclist who fell off his bike and became trapped at the bottom of an embankment.
A fire crew was called to assist paramedics at The Ryde School in Pleasant Rise, Hatfield, after an 11-year-old boy fell off his BMX yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon.
With ambulance crews unable to reach him at the bottom of the embankment, a unit from Hatfield fire station was sent to help out.
