A Black Country teenager has been rescued after falling down a steep embankment into a stream at a nature reserve.

The incident occurred at Fens Pool Nature Reserve, in Pensnett, near Brierley Hill, at about 9.30pm on Thursday when a 15-year-old boy fell down a 25ft muddy embankment into the stream which connected two large pools. 

The boy suffered a dislocated knee in the fall and received treatment at the scene after the emergency services used a specialist Polaris 6x6 vehicle to drive through the difficult terrain to reach him.

He was then driven back through the terrain to the awaiting ambulance and transferred to Russells Hall Hospital, in Dudley, for further assessment and treatment.
