The man, who has not been named, was walking along the beach near Eyemouth, Scotland, on Friday evening when he encountered approximately 50 seals and their young pups. Emergency services were called to the scene at around 7.40pm after he raised the alarm, where coastguard teams and police officers used ropes to lower a rescue officer to the man. Senior coastguard operations officer Jonathon Mustard said aggressive seals were not a common occurrence and that they may have been protecting their pups.
