Baby did not fall from ferry into Belfast Lough say police
Published: 10th May 2012 14:30:34
Police no longer believe that a baby had fallen from a ferry into Belfast Lough.
A massive search and rescue operation was launched on Wednesday evening following reports that a baby was in the water.
The search was stood down by the Coastguard on Thursday afternoon.
A woman was rescued from the lough after she fell overboard from the Stena Line vessel.
She was treated for hypothermia in the Royal Victoria Hospital where she is in a stable condition.
A police spokesperson said the search had been called off "after enquiries with the 37-year-old woman and her family".
The alarm was raised at 18:10 BST on Wednesday, as the ferry arrived from Cairnryan in Scotland and was preparing to dock at Belfast Harbour.
The woman was recovered from the water 15 minutes later.
