AN INCREDIBLE video has been released showing the moment rescuers found an elderly man stuck in a swamp in the UK.

Emergency crews had been searching for 75-year-old Peter Pugh in the Norfolk marshes on foot but decided to put a drone up to get a better view.

The drone quickly spotted Mr Pugh stuck in the marshes and operators were able to guide rescuers to his exact spot.

He is being treated for hypothermia at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn.

Norfolk Police Sergeant Alex Bucher praised the efforts of the drone operators.

“There is no doubt that without the police drone we would not have been able to locate him in the time we did,” he said.
