Wiltshire Police are ‘seriously concerned’ about a man who was spotted in a river this morning.

The man was spotted by a number of members of the public in the flooded river opposite Wiltshire College in Salisbury at approximately 9am, and police need help identifying him.

A spokesperson for the force said: “The current is very strong and although we believe the man may be an experienced swimmer, we have serious concerns about his safety.

“If you know who the man is, or if you believe the man pictured is you, please could you make contact with us via 101 or 999 immediately to confirm you are safe and well.

“We would also like to strongly advise any other members of the public against swimming in the river at this time due to the dangerous conditions. ”
