An Auckland man injured after falling from Omanawa Falls is in stable condition in Tauranga Hospital this morning.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter winched the 30-year-old out of the area and transferred him to an ambulance to be taken to Tauranga Hospital just after 5pm last night,

St John Ambulance spokesman Gerald Campbell earlier said the patient had suffered moderate injuries as result of the fall.

Search and Rescue personnel were called to the scene but were not required.

A Tauranga Hospital spokeswoman told the Bay of Plenty Times that the Auckland man was in a stable condition in a hospital ward this morning.
