Humberside Police are continuing their search for a teenage girl who jumped off the Humber Bridge this morning.

As reported, the Coastguard called off its search earlier today.

Police said the girl, thought to be 16, was on the South Bank end of the bridge and said she was threatening to harm herself just after 8.50am today. 

A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said: "Police were called at 8.52am with concern for the safety for a 16-year-old girl who was threatening to harm herself at the Humber Bridge.

"Police resources were deployed to the bridge where the girl was the wrong side of the railings, before leaving the bridge into the water below."

A search and rescue helicopter and boat have spent the morning combing the river with police vans on the south side of the bridge.

The Coastguard told the Grimsby Telegraph that that search had been called off and that Humberside Police would be making further updates.

Keep checking back for updates.
