A male hiker was rescued Saturday afternoon after falling from a trail in Eaton Canyon.
The victim who fell about 35 feet was airlifted just after 3 p.m. to Huntington Memorial Hospital, a deputy at the Altadena Sheriff's Station said. The severity of his injuries was not known.
Another hiker who witnessed and took photos of the rescue near the large waterfall said that the victim was not hiking alone.
"My boyfriend and I were hiking up and spotted the man about a hundred yards before the waterfall," the woman said, adding that the victim's friends were with him and he was "partially bent backwards over a rock, and his arms and chest were covered."
