Coast Guard medevacs man from cruise ship off North Carolina coast

HATTERAS, N.C. — The U.S. Coast Guard had to medevac a man from a cruise ship off the coast of North Carolina Sunday afternoon.

It happened about 60 miles off the coast of Hatteras.

Officials said the Coast Guard got a call from the captain of the Anthem of the Seas cruise ship saying a passenger on board was showing symptoms of internal bleeding.

A crew from Air Station Elizabeth City used a helicopter to hoist the man, his wife and a doctor from the cruise ship.

He was then taken to Vident Medical Center in Greenville, North Carolina.

Authorities have not released any more information about the man's condition.
