A woman required hospital treatment after she was thrown off the back of a jet ski on Monday.

According to a police statement, the man who was operating the jet ski has been issued a ticket for driving in a dangerous manner.

Marine Police responded to the incident in the waters off Admiralty House Park at about 7.30pm.

“It appears that the male operator of the jet ski was performing high speed manoeuvres when he and his two female passengers were thrown overboard,” the statement said.

One of the female passengers, believed to be a 20-year-old woman, was injured and taken ashore. She received hospital treatment for a sore neck and back, and was later discharged.
