A desperate search is underway for a man who fell into the Brisbane River while out drinking with friends in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Police divers are in the water near the Jindalee boat ramp in the city’s west looking for the man who was last seen before dawn.
The first officers arrived at the scene to began the search at 5.40am.
Two patrol boats joined them at 9am.
The boats initially focused their search area to the end pontoon before they began moving downstream and around the river bend towards the city.
Shortly after that marine rescue and SES teams arrived to assist at 9.45am.
Police drones are also being used to scour the area.
Thus far the search has been unsuccessful.
Paramedics previously took another man in his 20s who was at the scene to Queen Elizabeth II Hospital with shoulder injuries.
The man had tried diving into the river to help his friend but was unable to pull him out.
Two sets of paramedics are currently on standby in case the missing man is found.
Several people believed to be family of the missing man have gathered at the river’s shoreline and were seen anxiously supporting each other as the search continued.
More to come
