Emergency services were searching the River Thames at Gravesend
A search for a girl thought to be missing in the River Thames in Kent has been suspended, the coastguard has said.
Police were called at 13:45 BST on Friday after concerns for the welfare of two children who had entered the river at Royal Pier Road, Gravesend.
Emergency services, including police, the ambulance service, HM Coastguard and the RNLI, attended the scene, where a boy was retrieved from the water and taken to a local hospital for further medical attention.
HM Coastguard said it had responded to a report of two children in difficulty in the water. The ages of the children have not been revealed.
