River Ouse emergency
A day on the river turned into an emergency for a river cruiser when it started taking on water.
York firefighters used a portable pump to take the river water out of the boat and stabilise it.
Then the York fire boat escorted the cruiser back to dock at Acaster Malbis.
The drama started shortly before 4pm on the River Ouse in York.
