Dramatic video shows rescuers aiding a hiker who fell approximately 25 feet onto rocks at a popular hiking spot. 

The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at Big Falls, located near Forest Falls in the San Bernardino Mountains.

San Bernardino County Fire officials reported that they were notified around 3:45 p.m. after a person heard cries for assistance from the vicinity.

Officials said the caller couldn’t see the injured hiker but reported hearing cries for help coming from about halfway up the falls.
