A rescue operation is under way after a man fell off a cliff at Balls Head Reserve on Friday night

A rescue operation has finished on Sydney Harbour after a man fell off a cliff at Balls Head Reserve.

NSW Police and ambulance told the Daily Telegraph on Friday night that police and paramedics climbed down a rock face to reach the man, who was suffering from serious head injuries after falling onto boulders.

At the time, a NSW Police spokesperson said the patient was ‘in a serious situation’ after falling off a trail.

‘We were called to the scene following reports a man had fallen from rocks’, a NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said just after 9pm.

‘Paramedics are trying to reach him. He is currently on a rock near the water on Sydney Harbour.’

NSW Ambulance told Daily Mail Australia that the rescure team eventually got to the man who had a shoulder and head injury.

Police rescued and assessed him at scene before he was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital at 11:10pm.
